If the alternative to "no solution" is an all-out escalated regional war involving Syria and Iran, then perhaps no good resolution is the best choice. I am watching a travel show about Cyprus where an intervening force worked for 30+ years, and I know from firsthand experience that no one in Bosnia could begin to threaten the SFOR blocking forces. Even if one of the ethnic federation armies could mobilize tanks and armor they are no match against the helicopter gunships and fighter-bombers on call at Aviano in Italy. They know that, we know that, no one shoots anyone in Bosnia any longer. If they had several times the weaponry and twice the courage, plus a fanatical willingness to die for their cause, Bosnia might still be a problem on a par with Hezbollah or Iraq. For now it isn't. As for the future, the only hope is a political evolution that makes an international deterrent force unnecessary somewhere down the line.
