John,

There was a great deal of discussion about what to do in Bosnia during Bush I's presidency, including some reasonably famous comments from Jim Baker that it was none of our business.

Let's just remember what began this conversation. It was not about whether the violence in Bosnia was greater in 95 than in Bush I's presidency. But whether I would have supported an intervention during years in which there was a Rep president. I would have.

I would also have supported an intervention in Rwanda. Which Clinton did not do.

I have to disagree with you about it not being clear what was happening before 1993. It was very clear and the response of the Bush Administration was also very clear: regrettable but not of strategic interest.

It is the reason that I did not vote for George HW Bush in 1992.

That said, you are correct that the worst atrocities happened on Clinton's watch while the UN was supposedly guaranteeing the safety of the inhabitants.
