I got the connection. When the west recognized Bosnia as a Country separate from Yugoslavia the Russians, which backed the Serbs, complained about the west intervening in a civil war over territory. And now Russia is doing the exact same thing they say. That was the reason for the comparison.
And my gripe about us still being there (and we are still in Bosnia) was that Clinton said we would be out by Christmas 1995, but all we hear about is how long we have been in Iraq, well we have overstayed our promissed pull out date by almost 13years but nobody complains about that.
