#1 Yep, better to have him out of the picture completely rather on trial in the Hague, with zero evidence against him, and telling inconvenient truths about how NATO sided with extremist Muslims against secular Serbs for no apparent reason.

#2 Richard Holbrooke was/is a Clintonesta, and was hip deep in the Balkin affair.

It's never been quite clear to me as to why our national strategic interest was at stake over there in the hind-end of Y'urp-pe, and/or why we should have been the main lead force running the show instead of the Y'urp-peons. [allot of good it did us to "halp out" heh, ungrateful bastids]

Richard Holbrooke, the "guy" gave/gives me the creeps. Even though I've read some of his work and listened to his recollections on C-span I'll have to defer to other Rantburgers as to the soundness and validity of our whole Balkin adventure. There is more spin and disinformation than fact as far as I can tell.

#3 The reasoning at the time was that instability in the Balkans could spread to Greece; that in turn would make NATO unstable. Further, the Russians, in supporting their traditional ally Serbia, would get more deeply involved.

Plus there was the whole genocide thing.
