Oh no it wasn't with the states. It was the EU that got involved picking sides in the breakup of Yugoslavia. It was the European nations that put the Olympics in Sarajevo and then pushed and pushed at Slobodan Milosovic and encouraged the rebellion of Croates, Bosnians and Serbs because they didn't like Milosovic. That was the first time the European community of nations decided to oust by force a man they didn't like. The U.S. was a johnny come lately to that and was not in the leadership role. Heck, even if we go back to the first CIA coup/revolution in Iran, it wasn't even the CIA that led that but rather the UK. It was all about protecting British Petroleum. Just as with the Yugoslavia breakup, the European nations were there meddling long before the U.S.
