Vietnam, while a blunder, was one of many just wars. Clinton's illegal and immoral genocide in Kosovo was an aggressive and unjust war. The Vietnam traitors and seminar posters backed Clinton on that. I guess a cult is a cult. The racism and bloodthirstyness of the contemporary American left goes a long way toward explaining the Nazi's. It can-and HAS-happened here...

"Yeah, I think we learned our lesson.....it will be a long time before we get involved in a war that is not just" That is not the issue, whether it is a just war or not, it has to be one that is supported by the general public. We haven't learned this lesson yet. Witness the Gulf War. How many would have supported the war if every able bodied man between 18 and 25 were being drafted to fight it. We didn't learn a thing. What the hell are we doing in Bosnia? Would the general public agree to send their kids? I doubt it. I don't think you are right. What we have done is created a professional military so that the rest of us don't have to dirty our hands with these wars. As a nation we have no idea of what we are willing to fight for. Again, if we aren't willing to go ourselves, the war should not be fought. Little joe
