Robert, according to most estimates prior to the NATO bombing campaign Milosovic killed approximately 2,000 people. The NATO bombs have now killed 480 innocent civilians. In other words we have killed nearly 25% as many people as the supposed third Reich Hitler regime. Does this sound like we are helping the people of Kosovo to you?? Some humanitarian gesture. Not only will we bomb this country back into the stone ages, but we'll kill it's innocent children in the process. The President says that we mean to save the Kosovars, but he bombs and kills them. He says that we mean to prevent harm to the innocent, and yet the air war itself provoked greater harm. He says that we mean to go in and, on our moral crusade, we shall bring safety to those whom he knew, when he started the war, could not be made safer by air power. His generals told him what General Clark has already declared: air power could not prevent paramilitary murder. And that means that, if you are going in to save the innocent, and you use an ineffective means, then your judgment is not morally right, it is morally defective. You may want to stand back and salute that moral defectiveness, and act as if others do not understand that we are fighting a war against a people that never attacked us, that never harmed our interests, that never killed our people, that never in any way drew the sword against the United States - I will tell you that this is an un-American war! Anyone willing to stand by and follow, down a dark road of confusion and conflict, the most lying, the most morally incompetent, the most defective, the most shameless President we have ever had is morally incompetent. And when such a President comes to you and says he's leading you on a moral crusade, and you don't look twice, then three times, at what he is telling you. Then you are morally bankrupt.
