There is no moral difference between Kosovo and Iraq. Support one means you must support the other, for the ends and the means are the same.
Deal with it, my friend. We decided that the US military must be used to end threats to the peace. They were used so.
As for Clinton, his intervention into Bosnia and Kosovo were the *ONLY* things he did right in 8 years. Even a stopped clock is right twice a day.

Milosevic was finally out because people voted against him, and definitely no thanks to us at all. Our war on him only served to increase his popularity, temporarily.>>
That's not true at ALL! What happened is that the post war economic collapse killed his popularity, and he felt it necessary to call elections early, elections that he thought he could win. He lost them unexpectedly, and not sits in the Hague where he awaits justice. And soon, so, his killer wife.

There is no moral difference between Kosovo and Iraq. Support one means you must support the other, for the ends and the means are the same. This has to be one of the most simple-minded things I've ever read. No one ever argued that Milosevic posed a threat to the United States--the alleged reason for our presence in Iraq. Is it too much to fathom that some wars against evil dictators are in our national interest, and some are not?
I have loyally opposed both wars. But I don't think it would necessarily be inconsistent to oppose Kosovo and support Iraq, if you've fallen for what Bush says about Iraq's connection to Muslim terrorists.
