<<I've read some motives that make a lot more sense than "Humanitarianism" ---- Without looking too closely, it appears to me that the west is taking over satellites of Russia, much the same as the mafia worked/works sections of Chicago, or New York...>> LOL! Well then it is the greatest bloodless conquest the world has ever seen. Funny how Poland, Hungary, Czech republic and other former Soviet satellites are battering at the NATO door to get in. Have you ever thought that these countries fear a renewed Russian expansionism, rather than fear NATO? It seems strange that these peoples would rush headlong into Imperialist American domination, maybe they just got so used to slavery after 50 years of Soviet domination? <bg>

it appears to me that the west is taking over satellites of Russia If I could see any fragment of a profit to be made at it, I might see that as a viable proposition. I don't. Why on earth would the west want to take over Kosovo or Serbia? For that matter, I don't see the west trying to "take over" Iraq, just trying to get rid of a leader with openly aggressive designs on his neighbors. Again, it is not a great idea to interfere in other countries' selection of their leaders, but in this case, given Saddam's record, it does seem the least of many evils.
