Bosnia was in Europe. We would never have gotten involved if they were not.

I don’t have an objection to the U.S. acting on our own best interests. However, as everyone here has probably noted, I do have a violent allergic reaction to the pretense that humanitarian concerns come first.

Doesn’t that depend on who you ask? I suspect the politicians and military will focus first on strategic issues, which is what they are supposed to do, but the public will likely see mostly the humanitarian aspects if it not a matter of obvious self defense.
