As a matter of fact, the "Kissingers of this world", specifically Henry Kissinger, is adamantly opposed to our intervention in the Balkans, probably because of his involvement with the politically orchestrated debacle in Viet Nam.

On the contrary, virtually the entire foreign policy establishment is calling for a ground war in Yugoslavia. See for example search.washingtonpost.com

Kissinger expressed doubts (not outright opposition) about starting the war, but like the others he believes it must now be won at any cost in order to avoid making NATO look bad (he doesn't say it quite that way, of course).

The drumbeat for a ground war is getting louder and more urgent. Gradual escalation is the order of the day. The press is on board - notice the praise heaped on presidential candidates who advocate ground war.

Don't lecture me on things you don't have a clue about. I was one of those conscripts and some of those 50,000 dead were my good friends. I left some of my own blood there mixed with that of our enemies.

You would have been a better friend to help them avoid sacrificing themselves in a dirty, meaningless civil war. They died for no good reason (and that [weak] reason was much stronger than the reason for dying in Yugoslavia).

Don't compare dying in a meaningless civil war to WWII. It's idiotic.
