The intervention also lead to many innocents (like the chinese embasy) being targetted and bombed by US forces.

I do agree that the intervention was likely needed in this case, but that intervention should not have taken the form of carpet bombing as it ended up killing people completely not involved in the conflict; Clinton even apologised for this and recongised it as a negative.

The tensions have never went away however, the campaigns of mass imprisonment have only put it to sleep for a while and if recent tensions are anything to go by, they are likely to escelate again.

My sources on this are reading and being friends with a few people who grew up through this war, it is a harrowing one and I would say that often times its better to have 'no opinion' on matters concerning this unless you have personal stakes in it. Thats not directed at anyone in particular, just more towards americans who use this conflict to score cheap points.
