JBL--- I think that the number of SNAFUs is getting unusually high for such a brief period of conflict. I knew there were issues revolving around preparedness, but this is getting really bad.....

I think it is scary on how many enemies the US is creating over this situation. I say US and not NATO because it seems like the world thinks the US is synonymous w/ NATO. Now we have China upset? Just great. The US has always been disliked by the rest of the world and this gives the world a chance to really show their feelings. It would only take one bomb to severly effect the lives of many Americans. NATO is making quite a few bombing mistakes and this is not helping the situation at all. I am not saying that I could do any better but maybe the US should stay out of this. This kind of situation could start WW3. How much do the Kosovo's want our help anyway? I heard that the one's that came over to the US on a plane didn't even want to get on. If they didn't want to get on, leave them there. I think the American's try to help other countries and more often than not, they hate us for it. Too many people are jealous of our country. What makes me upset is the fact that Clinton avoided the draft but now he is commanding our troops. He cut alot of military spending before and now he is asking for billions of dollars to pay for this war. I am curious to know how much other countries are contributing to this war. Our military should NEVER be cut. We should always have the best (BY FAR) in the world. People say we should cut spending now since we don't have the threat of the cold war, etc. Now more than ever do we need a strong military backbone. There are so many quacks out there it is rediculous. Also in this day in age, one person can do much more damage. What I find quite strange as well is that we are coming to the year 2000. Many people say the end of the world is coming and look at what year we have this war. It is taking much longer than anyone had thought. We didn't even finish the last war with Saddam...he is still in power. Too bad we have to share this planet with people like that. Well, this is all I have to say for now. I am sure many people out there will disagree with what I have said. I have not been following this situation very closely. I am just commenting on what I have heard so far. People probably shouldn't comment unless they have all the facts but oh well, I am going to post this message anyway.
