Craving for attention, are we? You going to answer this? No. E.T. and I went over this a million times. E.T. has been answering pretty much every single post I have written over the past few weeks. I log on every day and half the 40 or so replies I get are from him. I feel E.T. and I have sort of exhausted the limits of our conversation on this subject. As for your reply, it does not include anything original from what I can see - "We saved Kosovans without UN approval" and all that, wrongly assuming...: (1) .... that the two issues are identical - Not. Genocide in Kosovo, no such thing going on in Iraq (and no, a massacre ten years ago does not constitute "Genocide going on right now") (2) ..... that the US went into Kosovo right away - Nope. They waited for two years of genocide (3) ... that the US intervention in Kosovo was solely thanks to the kindness of Clinton's heart - not really, the timing after two years of inaction suggests he was changing the headlines from "Monica sits on the cigar". (4) ..... that anti-war demonstrators cannot tell the difference between a peace mission meant to stop an ongoing genocide and an invasion with shaky reasons and ephemeral "proofs" that will kill thousands of civilians, and hence HAVE TO HAVE ACTED in the former if they act in the latter. - Not. There were no millions protesting against Kosovo because that was not an all-out invasion meant to install a puppet rule and seize the natural resources of the country, oh and killing a few thousands in the process. (5) .... and that, last but not least, this subject has not been covered ad nauseam. Thanks for pointing out Kosovo. That shed light on the issue. Why had nobody thought of Kosovo before in relation to the imminent war on Iraq?
