<<You see, I have not heard you press for intervention in Africa >> To my knowledge this has not been a topic of discussion on these threads while I have been reading them. <<I think the realities of today's world require we intervene militarily only when our direct interests are threatened.>>Well this is consistent with your view of "never again" SO we agree to disagree here. <<My friend, we are not bombing Kosovo because of any compelling principle. >> I disagree this is expensive potentially divisive and we have no other possible motives. << If we should see two men fighting, it is really quite unreasonable for us to fire upon one of them simply because it appears he has the upper hand on the other. >> I don't think the analogy holds any water.Rape camps and the slaughter of civilians is not akin to two men fighting. More like a man raping a woman. Fire away I say! <<we imply we have authority enough to inflict our values and beliefs upon those countries. >>The slaughter of civilians is more than "our" values it has to do with human values. <<Merely because a bully cannot effectively fight against us does not give us authority to strike him without striking the bully that can effectively fight against us. If we must strike one, we must strike the other. >> Not so. The consequences of our actions determine these actions. <<Now of course it is reasonable that we use different tactics in dealing with stronger enemies. But our philosophical position and intent toward such enemies should be the same as they are for weaker enemies. >> Ok I accept that we negotiate with the Russians and bomb the Serbs. Looks like we agree after all pez
