Once again, slower this time: the post you were responding to was arguing against another post that made the argument that because both Serbs and Kosovar Albanians were white, Serbian "ethnic cleansing" there was not "racist." Period. "It is racism," that is the only argument I made in that post. End of discussion. You did it once again. A straw man is a form of argumentation where you erect a false argument that I allegedly espoused and commence with an attack upon an argument I never made. I wont comment on the assertion that you made in this past post because (and here I believe we would be in agreement) that this is an extemely sensitive and difficult foreign policy track that shouldnt be discussed without due thought. I myself am guilty of jumping in with both feet into a discussion elsewhere about this, and it simply isnt fruitful. Consistency is good, but where interests are not at stake (as in Rwanda), it is rarely achieved. The question: should it be? Don't know and at this time Im going to err on the side of discretion and leave it go. :)
