So, if Bush had adopted the "Clinton Doctrine of Fighting Pre-Emptive Wars" (i.e., massive bombing from high-altitude with no ground troops) then you would be o.k. with it? As long as the only casualties are the civilians in the country we are bombing, then you would be o.k. with it?

actually, the U.S. did not have U.N. authority to bomb Serbia (only N.A.T.O. authority). also, Clinton "rushed to war" and rejected talks with Milosevic! wsws.org They flatly rejected the appeal of Jesse Jackson, who headed the delegation of ministers who obtained the release of the soldiers, for a positive response from the US-NATO side in the confrontation in the Balkans, including face-to-face negotiations with Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic. Deputy Secretary of State Strobe Talbott, speaking on the CBS News program "Face the Nation," rejected any favorable action in response to the release as a "bad idea." He added, "The United States is not negotiating with Mr. Milosevic right now, we are bombing the Milosevic regime."
