You really do seem to be advocating a 1989 Afghanistan policy. I think that's as foolhardy as the jingoistic facade of a policy that's gotten us here.
How many people would have predicted that the fall of Communism would have resulted in the mess formerly known as Yugoslovia?

Nearly all policies look bad in hindsight because the world changes. What can I say? I think supporting an enemy of the USSR was a really good idea in 1989.
So what if the Yugo region is STILL a mess. Are you saying you'd rather have the USSR back and events like the Cuban Missile Crisis rather than "the mess formerly known as Yugoslovia"?
I don't know what world you live in. In mine, the land once known as Yugoslavia has been a damned mess for 1000 years - excepting the Pax Ottoman Empire. I'll take who was Gavrilo Princip for $1000, Alex?
