JohnM, I remain convinced of the overall claim that started this exchange, that the Republican admins of recent decades have not undertaken these kinds of ventures for reasons of human rights. The one exception to that rule is Somalia. Somalia was the first conflict post cold-war. Previous administrations (Republican and Democratic) had to deal with the Soviet threat (and supported terrible dictators who were on our side - regardless of their human rights records). In that light I laud both Bush 1 and Clinton, but neither pursued the whole issue. Wars without good media coverage - such as Rwanda (Clinton) and Northern Iraq (Bush 1) went without intervention or untimely repsonses. To blankly state 'Republicans in recent decades' and only compare this to Clinton in 98-99 is very simplistic. John
