I posted the LP position on Kosovo because I am strongly against our actions there and I was glad at least one other group was willing to speak out. It made me proud to be a Libertarian. You can bet that nobody with the party held an opinion poll before issuing that release. In the meantime, the liberals and conservatives in Washington have each reversed their traditional views. The irony of the anti-war Clinton supporters with their Serbia bombing apologia was surpassed only by that of the feminist Clinton supporters defending him during Monica-gate. Meanwhile, the anti-war rhetoric from the Republicans seemed every bit as sincere as their new-found concern for women in the workplace The Kosovo situation is terrible and everyone wants something to be done. However, it is worth remembering Hippocrates: "first, do no harm." We have made a bad situation worse in our efforts to help. I'd like to see us open our borders to the Albanians who are fleeing. That is one positive step we can take now and yet we allow these people to be stranded on the border. Why is bombing people so much easier? Dave
