Many reasons. The violence in Kosovo truly threatened to destabilize an entire region, and lead to a much wider war, threatening important US interests (we don't need Greece and Turkey--two NATO members--seriously battling each other). Plus, adding Kosovo as a US-friendly nation in that unstable area will help us against a resurgent Russia (always a possibility). Finally, intervention in Kosovo (despite some Russia grousing) truly didn't put us eye-to-eye with another nuclear superpower. My risk/benefit analysis leads me to support intervention in Kosovo, but not Taiwan.
