There are two basic actionable causes for war -- self-defense and genocide. Clinton responded to genocide -- it was not an easy call. Bush did neither.


First, it wasn't genocide, it was a land grab. The kosovars were being driven off.

Second, Saddam had done far worse to the Shia and the Kurds in 1991, and was still killing Iraqis at a clip of over 30,000 a year (not to mention the deaths he caused by starving the Iraqis and blaming the sanctions, something I used to hear a lot about). All in all, much worse than Kosovo. So why doesn't it count?

Because CNN wasn't showing YOU pictures of it, I suspect. They were only showing nice Saddam-friendly coverage to maintain their "access" in Baghdad.
