most European leaders were mighty slow to get involved to stop the genocide the serbs were perpetrating

That is true. It was a shame and they should be ashamed letting a genocide take place in their midst.

Same now with Saddam, short on backbone, long on whining.

Not so sure about the validity of this comparison. There are larger issues at work here than a dictator oppressing his people - such as respect for the sovereignty of a country, a possible return to imperialist policies, respect for international bodies like the UN who are trusted with such decisions rather than single countries no matter what their superpower status, etc.

If the question was just Saddam being a dictator and hurting his people, than we would see something done about that guy, the dictator in Pakistan with the bad hair piece. Instead, he is buddies with Bush...
