Everything you said makes sense but, why not let THEM worry about THEIR children? They don't give one flying sht about mine.* Because we're really not wound that way, James. You know it, and I know it. That's why we have a holocaust museum here in DC even though few American Jews died in Nazi Germany. If we ignore what occurs in the rest of the world, permitting despots and dictators to gain ground, soon we will find ourselves threatened and literally on the ropes. The methods may not always be prudent, and sometimes corruption may find its influence in our policy, but in our hearts, we realize that we'll only be safe in this world when everyone has the same respect for the rights of the individual as were provided for us in our constitution. Regards, Ron

Kosovo; Serb or Albanian, it matters little. We are all children of the same God. Today, we are rich and healthy and secure. The refugees are the poorest of the poor. Driven from their homeland, many of them are orphaned or widowed, destitute and at the mercy of events far beyond their control. Today, it is of no importance if this is a just war. A bowl of food or a warm blanket or an antibiotic is what is important. Wars are seldom fought without intense logistical planning. Refugees just happen, or so it would seem. The UN notes their arrival and deplores their condition but no one has planned for them and the supplies are not there to care for them. There is much time to debate whether this war is just or whether America should be involved. Standing in the dust or the mud and filth of a refugee camp, today or tomorrow is an eternity; an eternity with an empty belly, or a festering wound, or no shelter. It is a good and a humanitarian act to have mercy on the poor. These are the poorest of the poor.
