Yes, Barry you have figured me out. I support child killers. In fact I am desperately seeking some to kill my own children so that I won't have to do it. Clever clever you. I am not a DECENT person like you Barry. I rarely clap my hands together when the US goes to war, or police action or whatever this is. And I rarely am happy when the US throws its lot in with morally ambiguous groups like the KLA who are also Child Killers Barry dear. So since you support the KLA and they are also child killers I guess you are like me, Barry, and are indecent also.

>>I support the freedom fighters of the KLA The KLA's only goal is to annex Kosovo to Albania and create a Greater Albanania. IMHO the KLA are the greater evil that ignited this whole conflict.

You seem to support the Child Killers. Can you understand that it is possible to be bitterly opposed to the child killers while still believing that they way to deal with them is by following, not violating, the law? In our own country, we know that certain people will commit crimes and get away with it because our police are constrained by certain rules of law. They cannot beat confessions out of people. They cannot break into any house they want to any time they want to to search for evidence. They cannot come into your house without a warrant, roust you out of bed, take you to the police station basement, refuse to let you see a lawyer, question you for 48 hours without letting you have any sleep, or any rest, or have any food, or go to the bathroom. All these constraints make it certain that some guilty people will go free, that some crimes will go unpunished. Yet we accept these constraints, because we believe that inevitably accepting some degree of failure to punish crimes is acceptable to protect hard won liberties and freedoms. If the price of capturing and punishing some criminals who would otherwise go free is the loss of these liberties, the price is too high for me to be willing to pay. For me, the same principles apply internationally. I am outraged by what Milosovic is doing (though I do not, as you do, support the KLA in their ethnic war against Serbs), but if the price of stopping him is the destruction of the principle that we are a world under law, the price is too high for me to pay.
