The devil is in the details.... the situation is different.. it depends on if we are talking about what is implied.. or what is constitutional. Either way I think we feel the same on the subject. I think there is more go ahead on Iraq then there was even on Kosovo. But Kosovo wasn't a big deal to media.. to the people here.. it was just sort of done.. I guess.. I don't have a better way to explain it. I can see the hypocricy in all of it. There we were to save Muslims from an evil gov't. What has changed fromt here to Iraq? Nothing... Except there are alot more $'s in it for France, Russia, and China in Iraq.

Wasn't calling Kosovo a "genocide" only played up after the bombing started? I thought Kosovo only became a big story to the masses after the bombing had already started and the media was spending so much time focused on the refugees - seemingly all day and everyday. The sensationalist reporting surrounding the refugees, combined with the daily bombing reports of the bombing destruction got many people highly concerned about Kosovo for the first time.
