Question: how do you think it will sit with children if nothing was done and the parent said..we don't want to sacrifice one life etc for an internal matter,especially when it is out of our control and not our problem and we will probably screw up anyways and it isn't in our backyard or a threat to our national security..then the child comes back and says then what was the big deal about the holocaust and the "never again" first can I make the premise that the major governments can print as much money as they want as long as the stock markets keep on going up..(ie everybody will turn their back) Can we agree that Clinton is a political animal and seems to have buried his conscious and the only reason he agreed to go is because of polls so if the citizens of the US start saying we want ground troops..we will send ground troops? Can we assume that the US is more afraid of upstating the balance of weird power in middle east? Ie I heard one top official saying that during desert storm..Sadam had his airplane on the runway and would have gone to Libya if the troops had pushed forward. Why did the troops stop? Back to Yugoslavia...if you agree with the premise that the governments can keep on printing money..what better way to help out Russia is to make their soldiers peace keeping troops..and pay them.. won't that defuse some of the many time bombs in Russia..also there is great unemployment in Europe..right..so why not also move some of their troops in..I wouldn't see any reason for US to supply peace keeping troops Wonder why NATO etc can't put out rewards ie one billion dollars backed by gold for capture of war criminals.. don't you think people might get creative just curious has Sadaam Hussein been labeled a war criminal ps saw a lovely clip on cnn where it showed Israeli doctors helping the ethnic Albanian victims even though the Albanians supported Hitler during WWII
