Witness Statement

Witness assertion/Bosnia I think that we should not go to war unless the United States military, citizens, or leaders are involved in the problem. A very advanced example of when we did help and it ended badly was what happened in Bosnia in 1992. numerous different ethnic and religious groups lived to take upher under a inhibitory communist government in Yugoslavia. In April 1992, Serbia set out to ethnically cleanse the Bosnian territory by removing all Bosnian Muslims, the Bosniaks, later on the president Tito died in 1980.In 1993, The UN learned about this cleanse and do Sarajevo and legion(predicate) other places safe areas for Bosniaks. Slobodan Milosevic responded to the UN by attacking Bosniaks and surrounding Sarajevo. He out of use(p) all roadways and closed down all the airports in Sarajevo. The Serbs then undecided fire on thousands of UN peacekeepers and other citizens. This was the largest massacre in Europe since reality War 2 by killing a rough kernel of 23,0 00 women and children and 8,000 men, which many were set out of the UN aid.The UN tried to help again by direct thousands of flights to try and air lift the remaining people out of this shaky area. In December 1995, the U. S. led negotiations that ended the conflict in Bosnia and provided a force to maintain the problems in the area until it was safe. Some could argue that the UNs help was critical to stopping this issue, but I think it make it worst. I understand that the issue would chip in been terrible if no i stepped in but the Serbs didnt actually do something until they noticed that the UN stated a safe zone.The UN making a safe zone made Milosevic angry and he then took over the safe zone. It was unnecessary for anyone to get involved in this issue besides the Serbs and Bosniaks. There were many deaths that could have been stopped if the UN just left the situation unfold by itself. I think that we should not go to war unless we are a part of the problem and this is a pe rfect example of why.
