You do not see a moral issue in our funding the defense of nations that won't even fund their own defense?

O.K. Your opinion. How do you stand on NATO bombing Serbia to force them to accept the secession of Kosovo in 1999? Is that the sort of "problem" that NATO was founded to address?

Not in the way you see it.

NATO was founded for the protection of member states. Does it need to get involved if the Serbs are committing genocide in Kosovo? Certainly it doesn't need to because none of it's states were being threatened. But then, that's that morality question again isn't it?

I don't believe it is a matter of morality to leave NATO because some members don't pay enough. Serbia was a matter of morality. Isolationism says "it's not our problem." What does morality say? Who knows?
