Ted,

This NATO war thing is completely absurd. I again feel that I could be having a more fulfilling conversation in a lumber store with a log of wood. Sorry.

My credibility?

Exactly. This squirming about NATO war has you in red now (credibility-wise). One thing you may want to learn is when to cut your losses before you get this far on the limb.

Secondly, we are typically not an aggressor nation unless one of our allies is threatened and asks for our help.

Unfortunately, you may need to have your head examined. None of our allies was threatened by the situation in Kosovo / Yugoslavia, except maybe the KLA / Bin Laden / Al Qaeda terrorists, but by now, it should be clear to that these are our enemies.

True I didn't remember every nuance but then again I was in a difficult period of my life. I wasn't as on top of world matters as I am now or as I was before.

I don't think these are nuances. I don't question either the hawks, who were for intervention in Yugoslavia and Iraq, nor would I question any dove who was against both (I seem to be the only one on this thread). There is a consistency to both arguments.

I would not not have much of a problem with anyone who was against the war in Yugoslavia with zero US interest but is for taking out Saddam, because there is some US interest at stake. There is some consistency.

But the only way I can reconcile your and Al's support for Yugoslavia war and opposition to Saddam action is that you guys are knee jerk Democrats, and can't think for yourself.

You have not been able to present an intellectually consistent argument in about 50 posts on the subject.

Joe
