Question

Why did George H.W. Bush choose not to intervene in Yugoslavia’s civil war?

Answer 1

bush feared a tangled conflict without clear resolution.

Answer 2

The Yugoslavia´s  civil war was a magnificient replay of the  1912-14 Balkan wars: Religion-Muslin, Roman Catholic. Orthodox factions, Cultural Germanic ( Slovenia-Croat) vs South  Slave vs Albanian, political Servian Vs everybody else.

There is a point of view about this subject that says: The advisers of president Bush felt that military action in the former Yugoslavia would more likely resemble the morass of vietnan rather tha the succes of teh persian Gulf War. It would be an  un- resolved conflict.
