It sounds like you have an ajenda.

Yes, I have an agenda. It's simple.

1. The US should obey the law. You are simply dead wrong when you say this military action is legal. I have given citations to both the Nato Treaty and the UN Charter which show the action to be illegal. You have given nothing but your unsupported opinion. If you think the action is legal, tell us why. Otherwise, accept that you are plain wrong on that. Just repeating yourself over and over with no proof or evidence or citation is simply showing your ignorance and intellectual vacuity. Put up or shut up.

2. The US should not kill innocent people in the name of trying to save innocent people. There is NO doubt in ANY reasonable person's mind that we have made the situation many times worse by the bombing. A diplomatic solution was available, and would have happened if Albright hadn't wanted to play with her war toys and Clinton hadn't wanted to get the China spying scandal off the front pages of the papers. This is 50% a wag-the-dog war and 50% a "I wanna play with my toys before I have to go home" war. If Clinton and Albright had truly cared about the Kosovans they would used the UN to negotiate a treaty which all sides could have lived with and which would have saved hundreds of thousands of Kosovans from being homeless.

That is my agenda. Very simple. Very straightforward. Very honest. Very honorable. And very much committed to solving a problem instead of showing what a big bully the US can be.

I realize it doesn't fit with your agenda, which is simply KILL, KILL, KILL until there are no Yugoslavs left. Frankly, though, I prefer my agenda.
