To answer your first point, I agree. But having weak Federal institutions isn't a reason to break up the country, it is a reason to strengthen them. "Furthermore, by something like 1992, the Serbian side (Milošević) basically usurped the Army (in what some called a coup)." Explain this please. How did the Serbian side "usurp" the army? By trying to prevent the separatists from leaving? Isn't that what any country's army would do? "It doesn't seem like the USA supported any side in the war very much." The US politicians cheered on with glee seeing how once one of the most powerful countries in Europe, the last bastion of socialism, fell apart. And of course they supported and trained and equipped the separatist forces. First in Croatia, then in Bosnia, and finally in Serbian Kosovo and Metohija. Please, don't try to educate me on my own country's history. I've lived through all the MSM propaganda and bullshit, I know a lot more than you. Including the entire process of NATO's preparing for the war. You can't just mobilize 27 countries on a whim to bomb one country. You have to have plans. And they had them, for a long time. Maybe even before Tito died.
