You are particularly dishonest when you take the humanitarian tack, because through time you have been very critical of Clinton's intervention in the Balkans

We've had this discussion before, and once again you have made something up. I ask, again, that you show me ONE TIME that I have criticized Clinton's intervention in the Balkans. It is a fact we had no national interest there (unlike the situation in Iraq). But I have never criticized Clinton for those actions (I did, however, criticize him for the mishandling of the "Black Hawk Down" incident).

And to make the argument that there is a humanitarian side to Iraq and how unjust of critics to assail the administration for trying to correct it, while we allow the Palestinian situation to go on

To those who are paying attention, our actions in Iraq are the first substantive progress in dealing with the "Palestinian problem" in 40 years, as it begins to attacks the problem at its roots. Only after the Palestinians stop raising terrorists can their crisis start to come to an end. I'm not sure why this is such a difficult concept for you to understand.

Al, And to make the argument that there is a humanitarian side to Iraq and how unjust of critics to assail the administration for trying to correct it, while we allow the Palestinian situation to go on, and as we compare the nature of the humanitarian situation there with what is happening in other regions of the world where we do not intervene, is as dishonest as the case that was made to invade Iraq.

I guess it's also dishonest to claim Clinton went into the Balkans for "humanitarian" reasons when he also allowed murder and genocide in other regions of the world to continue. Especially Rwanda, Iraq, and Afghanistan.
