I am keeping my eyes firmly on what did happen. And what did happen forms the basis of my estimate of Slobo's intentions--I tend to look at a person's past behavior in estimating their future conduct (wow, what a concept). If you do not LIKE the implications of closely examining Slobo's behavior, feel free to stick your head in the sand, cover your ears, complain and caterwaul about how I'm a judgemental patriarchal white heterosexual male, or engage in any other intellectual dishonesty that makes you feel better.

And on that basis you claim Milosevic was going to start WW3??? As I said, Slobo was certainly no angel, but he did not get involved where Serbs weren't threatened. Look at Slovenia. Look at Macedonia. Your firm gaze on his actions seems to have missed that point. Contrast that against Clinton, who was ready to start a war with someone who never threatened us. You say the world is a better place with Slobo out of it. Fine. But I say by disregarding a nation's sovereignty, the world is definitely a more dangerous place. I don't care how you sugar-coat it, "might makes right" can not last and will get us in serious trouble one day.
