> Kosovo; the US rapidly stopped a genocide ...
The bombing part may have been rapid – especially when they bombed a civilian train[1] and misleadingly sped up the video of the event – but dealing with the aftermath[2] doesn't seem to be going as rapidly:
"A decade on from the Nato bombing campaign, more than 90,000 Serbs are still in danger from unexploded cluster munitions, according to a recent report funded by the Norwegian foreign ministry.
...
"At the current pace, it is estimated that it will take another 20 years to get rid of unexploded ordnance from Serbia."
