Lets not forget the Russians recalled their ambassador and declared the strike a violation of the UN Charter. They've never done that before...not even during the Cold War. The Chinese and French similarly criticized the attack but did not go as far. The Russian response has been underestimated and I believe is far more serious than people realize. Considering the Russian mentality regarding politics vs. warfare I would not be surprised if there was a reciprocal Russian military move against Western interests within the next year. If we've "violated the UN Charter" so will they.

The London Telegraph, Monday, Dec. 15, 1998 (OPEN QUOTES) Sealed Criminal Indictments Against Both Clintons To emerge when Clinton can't grant pardons CRIMINAL indictments that could put Bill and Hillary Clinton in jail have been filed by a grand jury, according to a report in Washington yesterday. The charges have not yet been formalised by Kenneth Starr, the independent counsel, but Whitewater grand jurors reportedly have decided that there is enough evidence to go ahead. The indictments are under seal and would not be disclosed until after Mr Clinton leaves office, either as scheduled in January 2001, or earlier if he is removed after a Senate trial. It means that while Mr Clinton's aides used television interviews yesterday to argue against impeachment, Mr Starr has caught the President in a pincer movement. If he admits lying under oath, coaching witnesses to lie in his defence, and obstructing justice, Republicans might decide that this belated candour is sufficient to forestall impeachment in the historic vote scheduled for Thursday or Friday. However, it would hand prosecutors conclusive evidence against Mr Clinton allowing Mr Starr to pursue him once his second presidential term is over, as prescribed by the constitution. The chance of prosecution is not remote, as had been thought, but a real and present danger. It explains why Mr Clinton still, in most people's view, refuses to tell the obvious truth despite the advice of political aides to "confess and avoid" by making a clean breast of his offences. White House aides told the Washington Times yesterday that sealed indictments were filed recently, and this explains the comment of Gregory Craig, special counsel to the President, who told impeachment hearings last week that criminal prosecution was "very likely". Lawyers familiar with the Office of the Independent Counsel say Mr Starr has not shut down his investigations, even though he sent his impeachment evidence to Congress months ago. His spokesman says it could take "a minimum of one-and-a-half to two years" to end the Whitewater investigation, which has already secured 15 convictions of Mr Clinton's associates. The investigation has expanded beyond its original remit, which was to look into the Clintons' financial dealings in Arkansas, and now includes inquiries into their role in the White House's illegal accumulation of 900 FBI files on Republicans - apparently for an enemies list - and the sacking of White House travel office staff and their replacement with friends. Mr Starr decided that there was insufficient evidence to impeach Mr Clinton over the files and travel office, but the investigations are apparently not "dry holes" as the Democrats say. Mrs Clinton is suspected of being the main force behind both. Already the independent counsel has drafted an indictment of the First Lady for lying about her legal work on a land deal called Castle Grande, which was used to siphon money out of a government-backed thrift, comparable to a building society. ******** I'll be damned...something we agree on...Clinton's=scum. Note the sealed grand jury indictments were filed 3 days before the IRAQ bombing suddenly started, and 2 days before his Craig excuse for a mouthpiece "spilled the beans" on Wednesday famous scumbag defense speach in the House of Representatives.
