Your point 2 essentially supports what I'm saying. Groups such as the KLA can--through force of arms--force other nations into humanitarian interventions, by riling things up so. Look at the PKK and Turkey. If Turkey were not so indispensable, if instead Turkey were on the opposite side of the ledger when it comes to alliances with the US, NATO, Europe, then the PKK would be an optimal lever for pressuring Turkey's foreign policy.

I also would not compare Bosnia to Kosovo so easily. In Bosnia, the problem was that the dissolution of Yugoslavia without accounting for ethnic divides (the large number of ethnic Serbs in the province) created a real mess. Albania was more uniform ethnically. The question is, what could/would the Serbs do in Kosovo? If you go by the level of fighting, the numbers of killed, it simply doesn't compare.
