Re: Then why did we intervene in Bosnia (albeit very late) and Kosovo?
If you had read Zbigniew Brzezinski's "The Grand Chessboard" you would already know. The U.S. national interest to be served there was to counter the Serbs, who are Slavs and natural allies of the Russians. The Kosovo invasion had a lot to do with "spheres of influence" and forward basing. It had little or nothing to do with the purported humanitarian goals.

Dueling dictionaries. The level of discourse on SI is rising. <gg>
I'm shocked, shocked I tell you that you'd pick two of the most obscure, derivative and only weakly synonymous definitions of "Candid" to throw back at me. Sir, your logomachy is sub-standard this day. <gg> |
