Do you think our actions in Bosnia were justified?

Based on the intelligence available at the time, the war was justified. Bush even admitted that knowing what they do now the intelligence was wrong. If the Clinton administration had the sack, the war would have happened 10 years sooner. The invasion plans were drafted with slick willie in charge.

I never said it did, but living in a country bordering Iraq doesn't make you any more of an authority either. I asked where you were the 10 years before the war because there were diplomatic attempts to resolve the situation.
