I thank Sgt. Abdallah for his service and I wipe my ass with “international law.”

I’m not talking about UN-brand international law. I’m talking about a couple of thousand years of laws of just war.

Breaking up Yugoslavia and handing large chunks of it over to Muslim terrorists was not a brilliant idea. It not only violated the ancient accepted rules concerning sovereignty, it violated our own national interest.

If we had had pressing reasons for bombing civilians and tearing a sovereign country in two, that would have been one thing. But bringing Muslim terrorists into the Balkans is NOT in our national interest by any conceivable measure.

I’m not faulting the troops. I’m faulting their political masters.
