Group 1 Hand wringing, humanitarian disaster-chasing, hypocrites - hypocritical due to their selective indignation over Kosovo deportees - cynical in making a media spectacle of the selected atrocities, knowing that the headlines will be forgotten next week - no sense of proportion as to where the disaster-du-jour fits in the scale of world's problems eg 50 million refugees worldwide - vain to think their knee-jerk response is the correct solution - impatient for a fix, leaving the politicians no choice but to respond with force eg cruise missiles 'because sometimes America just cannot look away' - never there for long term solutions. Unless Lady Di creates a photo op, the broken economy of the diaster-du-jour is forgotten, and deprecated as seeking hand-outs, 'ineffective UN aid', waste of money etc

You forgot another group. 4) Group that is opposed to the military invasion in affairs of sovereign countries and condemnes the NATO intervention and escalation of the conflict. It also questions the ability of NATO leaders to qualify for the job they are doing, and thinks that military invasion has never been a permanent, but only a temporary solution in all world conflicts. It also thinks, that the precedent set in Kosovo, may get into a bad habit of NATO countries, and therefore threatens political stability in the world. Put a lot of non-US people in this group.
