<< ... the supposed third Reich Hitler regime. >>

... the third Reich Milosevic regime.

<< Does this sound like we are helping the people of Kosovo to you?? >>

Yes. The choices are limited. Ask the Kosovars if they want NATO to pull out and let the Serb Racist Military have their way with them.

<< Not only will we bomb this country back into the stone ages, but we'll kill it's innocent children in the process. >>

Hey! Easy on the rhetoric! Is it just to kill one child accidently to save 100?

<< He says that we mean to prevent harm to the innocent, and yet the air war itself provoked greater harm. >>

Yes, but it's more harm to the racist Serb killers, not to the Kosovars.

<< ... he knew, when he started the war, could not be made safer by air power. >>

The choices were limited. At the time, the American people would not have been behind a ground war. Even now, it is doubtful if we would be behind a land war.

So, what does a President do? He "successfully" uses technology and precision bombing to drive back Slob's evil forces. God speed mighty NATO on her humanitarian effort.

<< ... 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 ... >>

YES! You are right! The fact that Christian US and NATO countries are sacrificing themselves to come to the rescue of Muslims is a wondrous and extraordinary event. I am extremely proud of my country.

<< I will tell you that this is an un-American war! >>

An individual's view of NATO's actions depends upon their own value system.

<< 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. >>

Well put. I don't agree with the degree of your displeasure, but your ebullience was entertaining.

<< with some help from Alan Keyes >>

I thought I had asked you not to mention his name again! <g>
