10. There's Murder on all sides. Or, are you blind in one eye?

The breakup of Yugoslavia was engineered by outside powers too, or didn't you know that? But, the US (acting with a more united Islamic coalition) were then much more powerful (relative to now) to see the process through to a more stable outcome.

By the way, what do you think's going to happen when the religious civil war escalates and/or there's a military invasion of Syria? Peace and harmony? The Shi'ia, who dominate the regime, are a small minority - what do you think will happen to them if Assad falls? Why do you think they're so desperate in a country 75% Sunni to hold onto power? Now, THEY face a real genocide. The rest of it's just mass murder by comparison.
