James--- I have expressed plenty of reservations, and the hopes of a negotiated settlement. I believe we did indeed get in to the fray because of the Kosovar Albanians, but I also think that NATO's credibility is at stake... Can you hold more than one idea in mind?:-)...In any event, you overlooked the question about whether or not there is such a solution, and the expression of hope, rather than full confidence...Besides, in the end there is a question of honor at stake. If we can rectify things we should. Only when it becomes apparent that we can't should we totally disengage...

Jamie, I get the impression that you think I give a rat's ass about your opinion of me. I don't. You, on the other hand, seem to be fixated on my opinion of you. I haven't rattled your cage in at least three of four days and you're still fuming like a school girl who didn't get asked to the prom. Though I must admit, I do enjoy the way you get you get in a snit over the least little thing. I suppose it's probably akin to pulling the wings off of flys or using a Magnifying glass to torch ants, but it's one of my small amusements. As a matter of fact, I'm doing it now. The funny thing is that it's probably working. Don't take it so personally. It's not that I dislike you as a person. I don't even know you. It's your asinine opinions and fatuous reasoning that I can't help but take issue with. I can accept points of view that are backed with logic and information even if I don't agree with them, but I have absolutely no forebearance for arguments based in personal bias with no basis in fact. You have yet to make a single cogent argument to back up your inane rantings against U.S. and NATO actions in Yugoslavia. I could accept it if you would just say that you were pro-Serbian or that you hated Muslims or that you have unresolved masculinity issues that make you hate the military, whatever. I would still disagree with you, but at least you would have some basis for your arguments. As it is, you have no excuse.
