Steven, Very interesting post. Actually most of what you said I fully agree with. I just wish you would quit calling me "stupid", and "ignorant". The point I am trying to get across is the arrogant and hypocritical position of the Clinton Administration. One minute he calls massive air strikes against a nation that never threatened anyone outside its borders killing over 5,000 civilians, the next minute he ducks and dodges the issue of whether the US should intervene in the Indonesian civil war. Of course I have pointed out that Clinton is just a big phoney. He will only use the military when he knows the enemy can't shoot back such as Waco, Iraq, Sudan, Afghanistan, or Yugoslavia. The man is a coward. Of course, we have ethnic cleansing going on all over the planet in Chechnya, Tibet, East Timor, Kosovo etc. He talks the talk, but does not walk the walk. He only cares about the poll numbers. There is no principle in the man. It bothers me...it should bother you. Our military pre- pardedness is a shambles, our troops spread all over the planet trying to douse small ethnic fires. You said it yourself...the US is "incapable" of intervention in East Timor. We have spread ourselves too thin and like the Romans about 1500 years ago the empire is starting to crumble while the President focuses on important things like getting Monica Lewinsky a job in New York City. -John
