Yes, as in Bosnia, sometimes to drop a few bombs is the moral thing to do. Whether we do it for the moral reasons or strategic interests, sometimes it has to be. And for him to say we did AFghanistan because of the women, get real, we did it primarily because they declared and waged war upon us first, and we retaliated; the women part was just gravy.

With Bosnia, Kosovo et al, our NATO allies felt threatened. They saw the conflict there was destabilizing the region and could threaten all of Eastern Europe.

With Iraq, our closest relationships [I refrain from calling them allies since I don't think they are in any sense of the word] do not feel that Saddam presents a threat and have said so publicly.

I see that as a major difference between the two theaters [of war].
