Quote:However, from a less legal basis, the two wars (Kosovo and Iraq) were hardly similar. For starters, one war already existed, and massacres were a regular feature of the war. It was, in short, a humanitarian crisis. Intervention in that region was intended to stop the violence, not to start it. In Iraq, there was no war, there had been no war for over a decade, and there were obvious routes to preventing war that the US deliberately frustrated.I guess Iraq was peaceful, unless you were a Kurd, or a Kuwaiti. I kind of look at the 2nd war as a result of Saddam violating the terms of Iraq's probation.
Quote:Again, not apologizing for Clinton, except insofar as to say he's a fair sight better than what you've got now.I guess it depends on the type of stink you can tolerate. I never liked Bill Clinton, mostly due to his lack of character as evidenced by what he did to Paula Jones when he was a governor.
