Kosovo was ignored until they had an army. The Balkans was seen as a military situation at the Dayton Peace Accords, and the respective military positions was mapped in detail. The Kosovars at that time were trying non-violent methods of protest but were ignored.

Military situations are allocated forces. Most of the tasks carried out by these peace-keeping forces then has more to do with cheerleading than with warfighting, so its difficult to keep well-trained sodiers in the force.

Military force is a bad match to the problem, and neither side benefits. If as Clinton recently remarked in Central America, ther'es a new role for services, perhaps a new peace-keeping service should be formed.
