I'm not arrogant I'm just pointing out historical fact. When Yugoslavia spun apart the rest of Europe was paralyzed in response. I don't have the emotional component nor personal experience that you do in that so I can understand if you get worked up about it but the fact remains that Europe could not deal with the issues. Period. It's a fact and not subject to interpretation or coloring.

>>The irony is that the minute the stuff hits the fan, such as the Balkan crises of the early 90's, it's America they ask to solve the issues because Europe seems to be unable to even solve problems in their own backyard.
