we brought up this model of yugoslavia. america did nothing about yugoslavia for years while terrible ethnic fighting one on. it was only after the different populations of yugoslavia had run to their own enclaves and america divided up the country. i know you would not want your country divided up. you want a government that is democratic, where everybody gets along and there is equal representation. it is a beautiful dream. in a syria today, are they going to be able to live together? are the militias by conquer the territories going to be gentle with them and invite them in -- or are they going to run? there may be ethnic cleansing, we do not know what the outcome is going to be. for america to try -- i can see where it is in serious interest to have this done. it is not america's interest to get in the middle. >> leon, why don't you respond to that. >> other powers are already in the middle. putin is already in the middle. iran is already in the middle. the idea that american support for the opposition would suddenly in

pressure on the mask because if we think back to one thousand nine hundred eighty a bombing of yugoslavia in the height of that conflict there was the dark issued against president last week or crimes a drink the nato bombing of libya there was an indictment against kind of without people war crimes and i'm just worried that this is part of this trend that you know to increase pressure on damascus we'll have an indictment on the syrian government well you know if people are committing war crimes they should outs of them but it has to be applied equally interesting the another appeal there has also called on the security council to take action against president assad which would possibly include military intervention just how likely is that is the call would it be pursued do you think under the guise of human rights protection for example well we got the government in the u.k. is a neo con government. and they would very much i think prefer that option i think that it will be made as neo-con and strongly support the iraq war going to be a compaction america. became lieberman but i'm not su

of course, we know a lot about the wars of yugoslavia, we also recall that the conflict there started in kosovo and as there were, there was fighting in bosnia and croatia, ultimately, it would return to kosovo. and, thus, the international community's engagement and ultimate military action. at the time i was serving in washington as the president of a group called the congressional human rights foundation, and i happened to be with members of congress in 1988 when martial law was declared. and i saw the yugoslav tanks rolling in. i was also a witness to the ethnic cleansing in croatia and in bosnia during the siege and in share jay slow as an adviser to the presidency on his political talks throughout the war in bosnia. in addition as a senior adviser to the state department during this period, i was also a protagonist of events of efforts to try to prevent milosevic's campaigns of ethnic cleansing and aggression. the diplomatic history of u.s. involvement and international national engagement is told on the pages of my most recent book. one of the great fortunes i had during these

they offered no reason why the people of yugoslavia or the people of afghanistan would support them. they offered nothing but death and desolation, and that ultimately was not a winning strategy. i think what people do want to see is they want to see the rule of law. not necessarily our law, but their law. that's something that i think people respond positively to, and they see that the soldiers around them are enforcing the law rather than preying upon them, rather than sale thing from them -- stealing from them, rather than raping their daughters, if they see that the soldiers are upholding the law, they're going to be much more likely to support those soldiers. so upholding the rule of law is actually, i would argue, a crucial element of successfully countering an insunnier seven -- insurgency. >> right here. >> i'm robert price, osd. secretary of defense. how do we do this cheap and easy? we've done this before here and now twice in iraq and afghanistan, protective periods of counterinsurgency long term even after some of the immediate threats were taken down followed by extensiv

we have brought up the model of yugoslavia.the fact is american did nothing about yugoslavia for about two years after the fighting went on. it was only after the different populations had run to their own enclave and america divided up the country. i know that you would not want your country divided up between curd stan, the al waits, and the sunni in the middle. you want a government that is democratic, everybody gets along and there's equal representation. it's a beautiful dream but in the syria today, are sunnies and al al lo wits going to be able to live together? are they going to run, which they probably will do? there may be ethnic cleansing. we don't know what the outcome is going to be. for america, to try to -- it's not a -- i see it's syria's interest to have it done. it's not america's interest to get in the middle of this terrible sorting out, which is going on. >> leon, why don't you spond? >> other powers are already in the middle. piewlt -- piewten is already in the middle. the idea that american support for th
