UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Students find Bosnia decision hard to make
By Brenden Sager Kansan staff writer
After President Clinton asked Americans to support sending 20,000 U.S. troops to Bosnia to wage peace, some University of Kansas students tried to figure out if they would.
"It's probably a mistake," said Brad Loudon, Overland Park junior and Army ROTC cadet. "One of the rules of warfare is don't get involved in a war in the Balkans."
Loudon, like other students, had mixed opinions about U.S. military involvement.
He said that the President should focus his attention on problems in America before trying to solve those in Bosnia. But he also said that there were good reasons why the President might choose to intervene. Because of ethnic cleansing by Bosnian Serbs and the future standing of American-European relations, Loudon said he felt U.S. troops should be sent to Bosnia.
"I don't know if it's our place to play policeman for the world."

Park sophomore, also expressed indecision about the President's proposed mission.
"I think something needs to be done, but I don't know if it's our place to play policeman for the world," he said.
Kimler said that the war atrocities needed to be stopped, but that he didn't see how American troops could solve issues in a civil war.
"I hate to see human values totally degraded," he said. "But they need to work it out for themselves."
William March, assistant professor of Russian and Eastern European Languages, said that discussions among students about the events in Bosnia sometimes came up in class. He said that many students lacked the historical knowledge about events in the region and that the media often confused events further.
But March, whose mother is from Croatia, said he was sure of his opinion. He felt the U.S. should have intervened in 1992, before the conflict started.
By sending troops now, he said the U.S. was forcing a peace that was likely not to last.
March said he has traveled to the former Yugoslavia since 1957 and has watched the country grow both politically and economically—until now.
"people were generally prosperous," he said. "And now they are barely able to feed themselves."
