Yes a short and stupid answer. Instability in the Balkins? Like something has changed? We let the massacres occur in Bosnia and did that negatively effect our national security: No. The reason why we bombed Serbia into stopping the ethnic cleansing in Kosovo is because we felt guilty about what happened in Bosnia. It had absolutely nothing to do with national security or even strategic interest. We have no strategic or national security interest in the Balkins. During the cold war maybe, but now they are about as important to us as the Falkland Islands. Don't get me wrong - we did the right thing and I am just sorry we did not do something about Bosnia. But if you think Human rights are not enough reason to commence military action then you should have been outraged over Clintons intervention in Serbia.
