Isn't this a convenient answer Bob....

Again, let's just ignore the fact that some of the most virulent critics of Clinton on Kosovo are liberal, with Jesse Jackson and Jimmy Carter in the lead, and that almost 1/2 the Democrats and 2/3 of Independents and 2/3 of Republicans do not view this action as a victory.....

Of course, it would probably hurt your argument to include these people in your group of "spiteful, ungrateful, self centered, dogmatic zealots" who "find nothing good about Democratic nations banding together to stop genocide"....

I shouldn't be surprised by your intellectual acrobatics, Bob. After all, am I not talking to a man who sees China as a rogue Nation of human rights abusers but sees nothing wrong with this President's corrupt and inept policy towards their communist leadership.

As to spending time in church, it apparently has done little to improve your sense of intelectual honesty and morality, so I suggest you start going more frequently yourself.

Re: numerous responses and posts

Robert, I have tried to nice to you , and understanding of your opinions which are greatly diverse from my own but, you have crossed the line. When a person becomes so desperate in his losing of a discussion that he turns to vicious name calling and character assassination, he has not only lost the argument but, has disgraced himself in the process. For you to bring church attendance into the equation is inexcusable. Your true colors are now showing and I will not salute them. They are tainted. From now on, I will either ignore anything you have to say, or will blast you with every verbal weapon at my command.

This is a great time for mankind and for America.

For you and your friends? Perhaps if you spent more time in church and less time being spiteful and hateful, you wouldn't have such a dim picture of life. <<

I've asked myself whether my dislike of Clinton has anything to do with my being against this war. Although I admit to having a keen dislike for Clinton, I would be against this war, no matter who the president.

I didn't like the way the Iraq war was presented to the public, and I don't like the way this one is presented. At the very least, Bush seemed to know what he was doing (although I didn't agree with it), while Clinton has played the part of rank amateur. He may be fooling people at home but he's really made a mess of relationships with Russia. The trivializing of Russian power is a dangerous thing, indeed.

This game isn't over and for you to gloat now is only going to make your humiliation greater if and when the whole thing unravels. In any event, to gloat any time after the fact of war is inhuman - to borrow your own word.

As for your admonishment about going to church, certainly you're one to write such a thing after the sorts of drivel against believers we've had to put up with in your posts. At least you haven't blasphemed the spirit so there is apparently hope for you yet... you certainly blasphemed the very word of the Lord in at least one posting of yours which comes to mind.

Shalom
Andy
