This is the Balkans. These conflicts did not start in 1999, or 1941, or 1389. They have been going on since time immemorial. I think the best solution what the one put forth by Col. David Hackworth. Build a wall around the place and toss in all the armaments they want. After a year put up a ladder and look to see if they are still fighting. If so, take the ladder down and check back in another year. Continue until they quit fighting.

The left likes to point out that there is no military solution in Iraq. There has to be a political one.

It is the same in the Balkans. As long as the people, not limited to Serbians, are willing to kill their neighbors and burn their houses over some dispute whose origins are lost in the past, there will be no solutions.

So let them fight until they’re either too tired, or dead.
