Actually, the Russian government is going to hell, and it is our fault. These people were not ready for democracy. Even if they were, it was implamented too quickly. We have had Over two hundred years to prefect our system, and we still are far from being remotely even close to what our forfathers dreamed of. They looked to us for guidence, and tried to accomplish what we have in only a few, short years. The blame sits with us.
As for this war being different from Desert Storm, you are correct. 1: We have natives who know the area quite well, even more so than the Serbs, who can help. 2: We can get our forces there more quickly. 3: Our allies are closer, and we have much more equipment and personel available and more time to impplament any action.
And to address the 1 to 10 ratio, I don't think so. Any U.S. soldier sent to the Balkins knows that he might see action. And anyway, there are already marines there and most likly on their way.
