Bosnia had no ultimate goal except to stop the killing; Iraq is to stop the killing, and try to remake a society that can feed its people; and live in peace with the rest of the world. My bet is that you will see just as much cheering in Iraq as we have seen in Afghanistan. You've pegged it -- the dead giveaway. Not one of these guys has been able to give us one reason why they would have supported that military action but won't support this one. The silence on this subject is deafening in the media, as well.

The Gulf war just cost us 130 brave men and women, I bet if I asked you would also say that 58K soldiers died in the Vietnam conflict. christiansciencemonitor.com sftt.org cnn.com He has been in power 22 -24 yrs, and has killed approx, 1000,000 on average a yr. Just how many more deaths are you willing to tolerate. So while you are crying fake tears because it suits your purposes, just remember, you approved of the same thing in Bosnia; but oh, the president was a Dem. and that made it all right. Bosnia had no ultimate goal except to stop the killing; Bosnia was first and foremost an urgent humanitarian mission, without hidden agendas. Ethnic killings, millions of refugees, mass graves, Bosnia, Croatia, and spilling into Macedonia, Albania and eventually Greece. Iraq is the very definition of a hidden agenda that is completely avoidable. So please don't insult me...there are far worst conflicts in Africa today that result in more casualties in a week...before you question my fake tears, maybe I should remind you of the rather clinical language you have used to describe the need for the war on Iraq as a stepping stone in the ME...now you come at me with a bleeding heart when Iraq is a peaceful oasis compared to the Ivory Coast, the Sudan, Malawi?
