Moonglow, You are probably another one of these card-carrying liberal elites that became a hawk after the Gulf War. The so called "smart weapons" really turned all these liberal bozos into war mongers. They love the concept of sanitary war in which you simply push a button and the bad guys go away. In reality though, war is still war, and the civilian casualty list grows with each conflict. Consider that the World Health Organization estimates that over 1 million Iraqi citizens have died since the Gulf War as a result of "collateral damage" to water treatment plants, waste treatment, medical facilities, and starvation. Nothing has really changed at all, except that liberal Americans think that we now can fight wars (Clinton has bombed 4 countries in the past year alone) all over the globe and that all the children are still safe in their beds. -John "War is hell." --General Sherman in his march to the sea, burning Atlanta, and cutting the South in half during the civil war

Moonglow, You might want to take a 2nd look at your US military might scenario. An excellent 3 part analysis can be found at www.stratfor.com.

I fully comprehend the power of the U.S. military; it's a huge war machine that is at the beckon whim of a draft dodging perjurer Clown in Chief. Mark my words, these kind of blind, moronic interventionism will come back to haunt the west in the future. The U.S. can't just go around forever enforcing their will/values with their might. Firstly, I don't think the U.S. has the balls to send in ground troops because the politicians are afraid of casualities. If casualties occur the U.S. public will start whining that we have no business there, it's another Vietnam, yada,yada,yada. They'll only send in ground troops when Yugoslavia has been turned into a crater from the bombing. Based on retired U.S. general commentary on MSNBC and CNN, they have all echo'd the same sentiments regarding a ground assault (all negative for a U.S. invasion): 1. Ground cover and terrain in favour of Serbs. 2. Weather in favour of Serbs. 3. Only one point of attack; between mountains from Albania; in favour of Serbs. Regarding those copters. I'd rather be an Serb army soldier on the ground with a Stinger over my shoulder than a U.S. military personel in those copters. I'm far from a U.S. general but if they f*ck up the Apache invasion they'll be completely lambasted in the media. They have trouble flying them over trees in Tirana at night without one of them going down... wait till there are a few stingers chasing them down and their in the mountains at night.
