Thread: To me, a strong swimmer who stands by as a person DROWNS is
guilty of manslaughter simply for not aiding the individual that without a doubt they'd be successful in saving.
-The U.S. Army are the strong swimmers.
-The Kosovar Albanians are drowning.
-Bill Clinton, as Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces, already
has blood on his hands & is guilty of manslaughter in my eyes.

We can't expect a stubborn, cowardly Europe to take the first step without the U.S. holding their hands - that would be a neat trick and another debate altogether, but because the U.S. is the melting pot of the world, we have an obligation to keep the peace & erradicate any such situations as in Kosovo immediately. Think about it - we don't expect the Germans to meddle in political battles in Ireland - there are no Irish living in Germany, so they have no reason to meddle - there are millions of Irish in the U.S., so we have a vested interest in such situations, and even if there are only a few Kosovar Albanians living in the U.S. and contributing to the diverse social fabric of this country, we can't turn a deaf ear to their pleas.
