The correct contrast between President Bush’s response to the conflict between Iraq and Kuwait and President Clinton’s response to the conflict in Bosnia is:

President Bush negotiated with Iraq before declaring war, while Clinton invaded Bosnia and then negotiated peace.

President Bush's response to the Gulf War involved a coalition and significant diplomatic efforts leading up to the military action, which included giving Saddam Hussein an ultimatum to withdraw from Kuwait. In contrast, President Clinton's approach in Bosnia involved military action to intervene in the conflict, followed by negotiations that ultimately sought to bring about peace, particularly through the Dayton Agreement in 1995.
