Joe, re: So it is not the the action itself and whether it is justified, it is the cost that can be counted after the action has ended is what determines if the action is justified in the first place... Do you have a reading comprehension problem, or are you intentionally trying to twist my words? I said: I suppose the things they have in common is that they were all much smaller actions. That the justifications were humanitarian, not a phoney self defense argument. And that 1000 US soldiers were not killed, that they didn't drain the national treasury, that there was world support for the actions, that they didn't over-extend our armed services to the point where our National Guard is mostly overseas. You pick one point, the loss of life, and then you pick only one of the conflicts that you had brought up. OK, after all your qualifiers to try to make a cogent argument, let's just take that. How many of our troops went to Yugoslavia vs. Iraq? How many other countries participated in a meaningful way? Do you think that could have a significant impact on the number of US soldiers that were killed and maimed? Could we estimate that up front? Is your argument stupid? John
