-They were unwilling to sacrifice their own troops (knowing how many were dying overseas)
-Some had just escaped from own war (US and the Cold War)
-Overall concern for remaining foreign peacekeeper's safety (July 1995, Serb forces entered Srebrenica where they took UN peacekeepers hostage and murdered hundreds of Muslim males)
-U.S. Secretaries of State Lawrence Eagleburger and Warren Christopher didn't see a vital reason for acting to prevent the genocide , beyond containing the violence within Bosnia's boundaries.
-Many Western nations (U.S., Britain, France, etc.) did nothing for some time, as seen in the clipping above.
