I read a lot of arguments, and they are mostly anything but cogent. Basically, I would accept argument from someone who supported first Iraq war, but opposed bombing of Yugoslavia. This way, there would be a consistency in their argument, which is, you don't go around attacking sovereign countries unless attacked first (or allies attacked), or facing imminent attack. The list of people who make this extremely simple argument (and do so consistently) is surprisingly short. Joe, its amazing how your mind works........you apparently have concluded that the Kosovo and Iraq scenarios are the same. With that conclusion comes the affirmation that if Clinton can be aggressive in Kosovo, Bush can be aggressive in Iraq. It doesn't matter that both moves may be perceived as bad or inappropriate but rather there simply needs to be consistency. Its all about partisan politics and not what's best for the country. If one party can do it why can't the other. Well, I don't agree with you that the two situations are the same but I can see how you might think they were. So then, if the NATO intervention was wrong, why perpetuate the wrongness by attacking Iraq? ted
