I don't know how the war in Yugo can help Bubba's career.  Looks like
a Vietnam-type morass to me.  It will cost the US millions, and if
any of our servicemen get killed, he'll get the Vietnam no-show issue
tossed in his face at every turn.  As for deception, well, thousands
of inocent people have already been killed, and their exodus will
ultimately destroy what little is left of Albania.

But ultimately, I agree with you.  We have to let other nations
settle their own problems.  Trouble is, you have trouble deciding
when to leave others alone, and when to come to the aid of a friend.
Remember, the US tried this once, from 1939-41, and if we had
intervened earlier, countless millions of lives could have been saved
