Snowman: The beauty of free speech is that you and I can hold different opinions without the fear of the military kicking down our door in the middle of the night... Most of the world doesn't have this luxury... You say you don't like what's going on in Kosovo but you're against our involvement... Would 100,000 deaths change your mind? Or perhaps 500,000 deaths... Eventually, there would be some point where you would say "No More!!!"... The U.S. and NATO has said "No More!!!" before all these people are wiped out... As for Rwanda, a terrible tragedy... We were ill prepared for the conflict there... We were better prepared for Kuwait and Bosnia... And now Kosovo becomes another test between good and evil... While we can't be everywhere, we are at least doing something somewhere... If we isolate ourselves from the happenings in the world, it will eventually come back to haunt us... Jim
