I am with you on this (although I am a life-long democrat). The reason is that even the humanitarian premise appears on close examination to be invalid: the bombing probably caused most of the humanitarian disaster by giving cover to Milosevic. It seems inconceivable to me how a president who was against Vietnam (and us trying to save the Vietnamese by carpet bombing them) stumbled into this. I guess having a rather dumb secretary of state helped. This was the last straw for me as far as supporting Clinton. But, back to QCOM: it is inconceivable that this will derail any China deals for QCOM; they make too much technological and business sense. In fact, I believe that this may be a silver lining by deflecting the spy scandal: they stole our technology, we bombed their embassy, so we are even (slightly tongue in cheek).

Pierre my father was a survivor of the holocaust, my grandparents were all killed by Hitler. This is not a moral issue. If the USA is concerned about the Albanians then we should insist on allowing them to leave and imigrate to America. This country was created by persecuted mases from around the world, who better then to except them here. This should have been the original ultimatum. If the Serbs refused we should have attaked them with land air and sea forces. However the issue has to do with regional rivalries that have been brewing for over 100 years. We will not settle it through Force, or with peace keaping forces. Albanians and Serbs need to be seperated, they cant co-exist. Trying to force them to do so will ultimatly fail. I would also argue that NATO didnt want a hostile military force in central Europe threatening Western And the New Eastern European nations. Frankly the Albanian Holocaust, though real, is an excuse to eliminate an enemy to Europes prosparity. Ask yourself were the Albanians better before or after the bombing's? If milosevic wanted them out, and we let them imigrate would we have not solved the moral dilemas. It is a bad policy to mess in the internal affairs of any country.
