It is, however, difficult to do nothing when the situation has been festering for years, it is in Europe, and it potentially involves several other NATO countries, not only Greece and Turkey, but Austria and Germany, who felt the burden of the refugee flows from earlier Balkan conflicts, with detrimental political effects. The idea of measured intervention is not to rush in and bomb, but to take steps to try to assure a desired outcome. In Bosnia, for example, Bob Dole would have provided arms and training to the government forces, with some air support, to try to achieve a balance of power that would have motivated the Serbs to bargain sooner, and made it unnecessary to park our troops in Bosnia indefinitely. If we were going to take military action in this instance, we should have broken the Serbs offensive in Kosovo, even if it meant working with the KLA, and looked for a new deal with greater Russian involvement.
