In fact, the instability in Yugoslavia began to stir up the people of Macedonia, a portion of which is in the borders of Greece. No one wants a civil war on its doorstep particularly when that war is being led by a tyrant.

To think otherwise is being ridiculous.

So why, then, is preemptive action ok in THIS case? They just felt threatened? They weren't actively attacked? There wasn't a UN resolution??? Because France and Germany said it's ok????

Because it wasn't us?

Pot, kettle, black. At least this time we had a UN resolution.

And I said that Italy and Greece, both NATO members, felt threatened.

They may have felt "threatened" that they would have to deal with a lot of refugees. That isn't the same as being threatened with armed attack and it isn't enough to cause any US treaty obligation to intervene with armed force.
