Countries have the right to do what they want within their borders- if they do not then Nato can come over here and bomb US when we do something the majority of Nato does not agree with. Would we want that? I think not. Of course Clinton is too much of an idiot to think any further ahead then yesterday- America may not be the supreme super power forever and when we are not we would not want to be treated like Yugoslavia.

It is my opinion that genocide or civil war within a country is a choice for THAT country to make- if they step outside their boundaries and attack other nations then military cooperation makes more sense to me. We are doing inestimable damage to our relationship with Russia and giving the hard liners there a mandate- our policy is stupid, shortsighted and arrogant and we are idiots for not inundating the Whitehouse with letters voicing our disapproval- I sent my telegram (you get a special rate if it is political)- anybody else feel strongly enough to send one?

Yogi,

>>> So far, all "we" have succeeded in doing is speeding up the killing in Kosovo, while making bitter enemies of more people around the world. <<<<

The U.S. have been called the POLICE of the world. Lets look at that from a different perspective.

Lets say a local regular policeperson refused to help a person in need, since that policeperson picked and chose who she or he wanted to help, whatever the criteria was. As a society we would frown on this policeperson and strongly suspect dishonesty.

So the U.S. as the POLICE of the WORLD, picks and chooses who they want to help. The U.S. hasnt done much to the help the KURDs in TURKEY, and Im sure there are plenty of other examples.

So is the U.S. the "GOOD" global police? So the many from the global community are not favoring the AMERICAN POLICE, just the same way we would be against that policeperson who picked and chose who to help.

In no way am I saying or implying that we should be the police of the world, but just supporting your views that we may be creating enemies.
