<< Robert, I understand your frustration with trying to debate me. :-) >> I'll admit that I respect your debating skills. But, the most frustration I have with you is with the personal comments, not on the pertinent issues. For instance, your posting from Keyes was a mistake. He showed that he either really didn't understand what was going on in Kosovo, or he was twisting the situation to fit his own ideology. For that posting, you disappointed me. Did you really read it before posting it? << Robert, you have repeatedly stated that Milosovic killed tens of thousands, then hundreds of thousands, and now you seem to be inferring he has killed millions. >> Does this really matter to you? Would you feel better if it was only tens of thousands? Hundreds of thousands without food, shelter, medicine, water ..... What do you think is going to happen to these people? So, while "millions" are suffering, you are counting marbles. Your indifference is showing again. << Although it's despicable that even one innocent person should suffer political or racial intolerance in such a way. >> Crocodile tears. << Using a few thousand people as a benchmark to invade another persons homeland ... >> The world witnessed the results of Slob's policies in Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Kosovo. The Kosovars had been the victims of Slob's cruel policies for 10 years, and in the last couple of years the harsh treatment of the Kosovars had become much worse. << Why only Kosovo and not everywhere else? >> There have been, and there could be other involvements. I wish something could be done in Afganistan against the Taliban. But, I don't see NATO going to war again unless it's own members' security is at risk. << Since you are not willing to die and play global policeman around the world. Then I can only expect you believe others should do it for you. >> And, I hope that they do it well! I am very proud of the NATO freedom fighters. God speed them on their mission of mercy! << Then I can only expect you believe others should do it for you. That to me my friend is cowardess. >> Yes, we are, aren't we. Both of us probably are against drugs and would like to see all drug pushers in jail. But, you don't go into drug infested areas at night to stop the drug dealers. You believe others should do it for you. That to me, my friend, is cowardess! <g> << Why conveniently stop at ten years? Because it suits your rhetoric? >> Your first correct point. Your friend Slob Milosevic and Dog Face got into power in 1987, which was twelve years, not ten. << You see Robert, as much as you would like to paint the Serbian people as the third Reich and Milosovic as their Hitler leader. >> I paint the Serbian thugs who are murdering and raping and stealing everything that they can get their hands upon, and their ruthless, criminally insane leader, similar to Hitler's third Reich. What do you paint these criminals as, boy scouts? Go back to sleep! <g> << Alan Keyes is right in his logic. This is not a Moral War for America in any stretch of the imagination. >> Wash your mouth out with soap! Trying to save the lives and homes of over a million people is not a moral undertaking??? You can twist words, and twist logic if it makes you feel good, but nothing changes the fact of the ethnic cleansing that is going on in Kosovo by Slob and his murdering Serb military police. Your indifference has now changed to a total disregard for the suffering of others as long as you are comfortable with your ideology. << The fact that you and the supporters of this war turn a blind eye to the mass killing of innocent children and civilians speaks clearly to this reality. >> The NATO freedom fighters are trying to save over a million innocent men, women and children from genocide. While they can't answer for massacres in the past, at least they are doing the right thing now! This is the first time that Christian nations are fighting soley to save a non Christian population. You are opposed to this. You are very clear about the type of world that you want to live in. It doesn't paint a good picture. I hope that your ideology doesn't win. << Yugoslovia needs a Martin Luther King to rise from it's ashes. >> You really don't know what has been going on in Kosovo over the last ten years, do you? The Kosovo Albanian leaders had been taking the "Martin Luther King" approach to the cruelty and repressions of Milosevic's Military police. For years, they tried "peaceful disobediance" rather than violence. It was only after Milosevic increased the brutality and repression that the KLA was formed and the Kosovars were forced to defend themselves. Your "Martin Luther King" statement reeks with insincerity.
