Is that why nobody did anything with the Bosnian genocide? Because any European intervention would have escalated into something bigger? Or am I just talking out of my ass here (my knowledge of European history and politics is pretty limited)?

It kind of explains why it took the States to bomb the shit out of Serbia, they having none of that historical baggage.

PS: Thanks for the history lesson guys, very educational.
