In the context of an overt act, you are absolutely right. However, in a separate context, where those atrocities are a historical given and our position in the world power hierarchy is one of responsibility, Clinton's deeds, misdeeds and malfeasance are as hideous. His constantly putting his ego above people's well-being is a crime that will haunt us for several decades.

<<NATO briefers have admitted that their air attacks -- already adversely affected by weather and terrain in Kosovo -- would be vastly complicated if they had to contend with civilians clustered around potential targets.>> Here is the problem: Milosovich has ordered the Refugies back from the border. They are returning home. Now what? We are in a similar predicament we were put in with the sanctions against Iraq. We told him to stop ejecting ethnic Albanians and allow them to begin to return or we'd continue bombing. He's allowing them to return, we want to continue bombing but how can we do that with the dadgum ethnic Albanians running around in our way. In Iraq we told Saddam that he must cooperate with us or we would impose sanctions that would, did, and continue to take Iraqi lives. In reality we did not want Saddam Hussein to cooperate because if he did then we would have no vehicle to continue the UN inspections. Once that became ingrained everything crumbled. A decade later, with hundreds of thousands of innocent dead villagers on our hands we still impose sanctions and have no access to inspect Saddam's facilities.
