JohnM, On this "colleges are leftist" thread this is probably off topic: senate.gov Frighteningly interesting, from one perspective the Republican view, from another - Tenet's testimony. This gets back to my view on the hypocrisy of FA these days. One the one hand we have 'conservatives' and neocons, who probably objected to Kosovo (just because it was Clinton) and view Iraq as evil. On the other hand Democrats & others who view anything Bush proposes as evil and who justify no action on Iraq on the basis of peace is better. Back during the Clinton administration, arguments were made about distracting the nation and about dangers to our troops etc etc. The bottom line is we went into Yugoslavia and bombed the crap out of them. And as a result countless thousands were saved. However, Yugoslavia(Serbia) posed no threat to the United States and we have no strategic interest in the region. It also has no oil. But intervening was the right thing to do (my opinion). Now many of the same folks who argued for intervention in Bosnia or Kosovo, sound like the Republican Policy committee in 1999. What has changed? The administration. Its all partisan. John
