>That's sophistry. If you keep focusing on Bosnia and Kosovo and convert consideration of the "Iraq experience" into a story about Bosnia and Kosovo as if a valid previous justification becomes a justification forever, I guess we can expect to see the same thing over and over again.
The United Nations failed miserably in both Bosnia and Rwanda, and this by it's own admission:
Bosnia:

Now, after those three pretty glaring cases of ineffectiveness by the U.N., you think we should wait for it to act? Like I wrote... insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, expecting a different result.
