Perhaps agenda was the wrong word. What I meant by agenda is that you have an idea or perception of the world fixed in your head and you refuse to budge from it.

Yes, that is a wrong word. The next time you wish to accuse me of something, at least choose well your words.

If you have not yet succeeded in convincing me of anything, it is because, as I have said before, you have not put together a strong argument that can be called "convincing" in any way.

All you have said is "Iraqis don't have democracy, they are suffering" or some such. You have failed to offer an argument as to why Iraq should be invaded because its people are (allegedly) unhappy in general. You have completely ignored how this affects YOUR OWN COUNTRY and YOUR OWN COUNTRYMEN, benefits to whom should be your foremost concern.

when I ask you how many muslim Albanians would be alive in Kosovo today if Belgrade's soveriegnty had been respected in 1999...

(1) I have said many times in the past that it was a mistake on Europe's part not to intervene in the genocide that took place in their midst at the time.
(2) It has nothing to do with the Iraq situation, since there is no ongoing genocide, and hence no urgency to intervene (no, a genocide that took place 10 years ago is not sufficient reason to invade a country now)
(3) Clinton's intervention was NOT an invasion

This is the last time I am answering this comparison from you. Next time you ask me "But how many muslim Albanians would be alive in Kosovo today if Belgrade's soveriegnty had been respected?", you are on ignore, E.T.
