There are many
countries that feel our use of the death penalty in this country is a VIOLATION of
INTERNATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS- do you want the US bombed until it
complies with whatever international consensus thinks this?

Great point. But doesn't go nearly far enough. How about police who shoot 41 bullets into unarmed civilians? How about our treatment of treatment of undocumented aliens? Ruby Ridge, Waco, etc. Native Americans, from whom we stole this great country, still mostly living in squalor and many without adequate medical care under our benevolent BIA. Homeless people given no help or support. The highest number of people in prison of any "civilized" country, and very disproportionately minorities. Heck, how about our allowing millions of babies to be killed by abortionists, which much of the world finds simple murder? Dwarfs the number of people killed in Kosovo.

Don't get me wrong. I love this country. I think the things we do right far outnumber the things we do wrong. I wouldn't live anywhere else (except maybe New Zealand <g>). But I don't pretend we're perfect. We have things to be ashamed of as well as many more things to be proud of.

But I deny utterly that Yugoslavia has any right to bomb us for the things we do wrong, or because we deprive certain of our citizens of rights which Yugoslavia or the international community deem to be fundamental human rights.
