You pointed out rightly that the US set a bad example in iraq although the two governments--iraq and ga are not even close. There is that pesky collection of UN resolutions from the one World government body against Iraq and the fact the US adopted a use of force agreement in plain view and telegraphed our intent for months ahead of time. The Russians acted alone, without any authority and by complete surprise under one mans order. Some would call that a subtle difference others with far less brain cells would call them equivalent. :-) How many countries joined in the Russian coalition? Not even close - as you said.

You pointed out rightly that the US set a bad example in iraq The US set a "bad example"? By enforcing a plethora of UN resolutions? By removing from office a dictator who was causing the deaths of 5000 innocent Iraqis every month? By holding Saddam to the ceasefire agreement HE entered into? By standing up to Saddam Hussein who was essentially thumbing his nose at us during the entire course of the Clinton administration? What exactly is this "bad example" you're referring to?
