You keep posting this.  So the Dutch government resigned a month earlier
than they would have.  Your point?

It really does go to show the corruption of international diplomacy. 
Sarajevo was under siege for four years, with constant shelling of
civilians.  Very easy to work out who the bad guy is in a situation like
that.  The international community did what, exactly?  Prolonged it by
cutting off weapons to the defenders while feeding both sides.

Then when Serbia started throwing their weight around in Kosovo, a while
later, the Yanks are in like Flynn.  Had nothing to do with a certain
bouffant-haired young intern, mind.  Nooooo.
