So its ok to push around other countries as long as we get no benefit from doing so, but if we are looking out for our own interests its automatically
wrong?
Push around? I remember Croatia, Bosnia and Kosovo in the context of a civil war with ethnic cleansing and atrocities commited on both sides but primarily on the Serbian side. This was as close as one comes to a humanitarian mission. If anything, Clinton waited too long to take action


This is one of the most convoluted visions of WHY the United States should get engaged in a war I've ever heard.

And it is doublespeak, I might add. Only a month ago you were suggesting that we should not attack Saddam unless "we were attacked first". So which is it?

There may have been a good reason to push the Serbs around but we still pushed them around.

There are also good reasons to push Saddam around.
