Reasons for going to kosovo were to rpeserve what peace there could be an dadmin thought it would be another starter blast like in WW1 with the assasination of archduke ferdinand from the austro-hungarian empire. The balkans see themselves with the russians as ethnic brothers and the last thing we needed was a conflict to get out of control there.
Somalia could be argued different routes. Pure and simple we wanted a military base there on the horn so we would dominate the persian gulf with ease (and I see nothing wrong with that). We were protecting American interests.
