i don't know about the rest of these people, but antiwar.com was against the kosovo war too... i think though that a good point could be made that this whole thing today is heavily partisan... thus when clinton sent hundreds of cruise missiles at baghdad to stave off impeachment by a day... or when he sent nutbright into kosovo... none of the 'liberals' said a thing... too bad bush never talks about the booty... a lot of people could get behind some booty... i say... easy drugs for everyone... cancel all debts... shutdown the irs, the government schools, and let all of the prisoners go free... and kick the foreigners out of the u.n. building and make it into a homeless shelter... send those diplomatic immunity pustules back home... in other words... shut the un down... un really stands for 'un'.. as in 'un-american' oh and 'anarchy is simply a word used by tyrants' finally, america is a state of mind... not a place on a map... sincerely, andy (a REAL AMERICAN (tm))

Hi KLP - I see you have the same disillusionment as I wondering why they March for Saddam and support and appease the butcher's regime to spite President Bush. I can understand the French German and Russian gov'ts who stand to lose large debts, claims and agreements. They do so for nationalistic and selfish reasons. The "peace at all costs" clan are just being used to further their side to keep the dictator in power knowing full well the iron fist hold of torture and brutality he and his party welds on the Iraqi people but look or turn away and claim "peace" and containment as the answer. I am sure the people of Iraq want to be freed from this hold and I wouldn't be surprised if they also hate America or the West for taking as long as they did trading their existence for economics and "worldly" agreement for surrender (Gulf War I) keeping them hostage. Both sides lose, but I rather have them free to decide than not even whisper to question. Want to see the UN in action or rather inaction -- read about Srebrenica especially Endgame: The Betrayal and Fall of Srebrenica by Rohde.--- imisite.org "In 1993, the UN Security Council officially made Srebrenica the world's first UN-protected civilian safe area and stripped the town's Muslim defenders of their tanks and artillery. Two years later, Srebrenica fell after UN commanders turned down repeated requests for NATO air strikes to halt attacking Bosnian Serbs. As many as 7,000 Muslim men parished in mass executions or ambushes along a harrowing forty-mile flight one survivor called "The Marathon of Death." Pulitzer Prize- winning author David Rohde follows the experiences of seven central characters- three Muslims in Srebrenica, two Dutch peacekeepers charged with defending the surrounded town, and two Serb Army soldiers attacking it- through the ten-day period that changed the course of the war in Bosnia and was arguably the darkest hour in United Nations history." Best let the US and the coalition of the willing do it and hope for democracy or maybe just hope.
