Probably, but it was also the right thing to do.

And it was also clear nobody in Europe cared or was going to do anything, even if it was also in their craven interest.

Probably didn't align with their August vacation schedule plans or something.

They were a little more hesitant to engage in airstrikes because they knew that Serbia would step up the ethnic cleansing if they did.

& they did.

The US was more concerned with there being instability in Europe than any overriding moral concerns.

300,000 of Serbs forced out of Croatia in period from 1991 to 1995. Where were US bombs to prevent that particular ethnic cleansing?

US bombs landed on Croatian Serbs on multiple occasions thus enabling ethnic cleansing. But no biggie, what's small ethnic cleansing between NATO friends?
