I might have phrased it differently, but I'm afraid that your pessimistic view may not be too the mark about the end result given the sorry results so far.

I'm not so sure, however, that either Bosnia or Kosovo are shining examples of how to do it right. It seems to me that the ethnic cleansing of villages was pretty far along and largely "mission accomplished" before the rest of the world decided to actually do something about it in Bosnia. In Kosovo, it seems the Kosovars have been pretty effective at carrying out their own form of ethnic cleansing right under the noses of the occupying forces.

After over a decade, neither state is sufficiently stable to allow the removal of foreign troops keeping the peace and there appears to be no end in sight.

Of course, I could be wrong. It wouldn't be the first time nor the last.
