Re: victory
I will go along with you about the humanitarian aspects of this conflict and feel that all humans should be resolved to help others, as long as they can not help themselves.
I do not call bombing an adversary into capitulation a victory.The main reason is because it ain't over yet. A limited shooting war has already begun in the middle of the, so called, peacekeeping efforts and will, in all probability, escalate. Then, American ground troops will begin to die. Can anyone justify this? I not only can't, I won't.
This has been no more of a victory here than the gulf war. The UN forced stormin' Norman to stop before the snake had been pulled from his den and dispensed with. Rest assured that he will again rear his ugly head as will Slovo. I am not a prophet but, mark my words.
