>>in the Balkans where we have been on the same side as Osama Bin Laden and Iran in Bosnia, and Kosovo.<<

Factually incorrect. The name of the game for the west here was disengagement of warring parties. If the statement were true, 8000 slaughtered in Srebrenica for instance a) would not happen and b) the other side would get living lights beaten out of them.

Think of the (relatively few) long-bearded fighters on the Bosnijak side as something similar to what Europe knew as anarchists. Of course somebody footed the bill and it was not a bill that helped rebuild burnt-down mosques and villages.
