and not at all on the Yugoslav Wars page, which sums up the end of the Bosnian war this way

So anyway, I'd like to hear more. Was the US peace brokering the important part, or the arms smuggling, or what? What really went on over there? Inquiring minds...
My recollection is along the lines that Clinton was given favorable credits because he approved using U.S. air-strikes (for the first time ?) to help balance the ethnic battles that were raging. But then my memory has faded since those times...
