Anyway, I don't care about Kosovo/Clinton, I care about Iraq/Bush. The here and now. I didn't think so. It is not merit of the action, it is person taking the action that determines whether the action is right or wrong. Sorry but I have to disagree. What's most important is execution and the execution in Iraq has been terrible.

OK Joe, let's go back in the conversation: you said: How come I did not hear the same complaints from the people who are complaining today when we went to impose (whatever we were imposing) on Haiti in installing Aristide, in Kosovo and in Mogadishu. I said: Probably a number of reasons, different ones for each. I suppose the things they have in common is that they were all much smaller actions. That the justifications were humanitarian, not a phoney self defense argument. And that 1000 US soldiers were not killed, that they didn't drain the national treasury, that there was world support for the actions, that they didn't over-extend our armed services to the point where our National Guard is mostly overseas. I could probably go on... but in the end you will say that the outrage is partisan, so what's the point. Now you say: It is not merit of the action, it is person taking the action that determines whether the action is right or wrong. So there was no point to the conversation, you had made up your mind that my dislike of the Iraq war is partisan, and nothing I could say would change your view. It's not partisan, by the way. I voted for Bush. John
