I think the war against Serbia was a necessity - and indeed it was a precedent in ignoring the UN Charter - justified by our moral standards we even want to see acknowledged in the justification for the Iraq war, now that no WMD have been found yet. The left-right-scheme doesn´t really fit in the European-American-comparison, I assume. It doesn´t fit in the inner-European comparisons either. Each society has its own political landscape. American foreign policy has always been following ideals, even under Clinton. This is a stable factor in US foreign policy.

Avoid the UN as precedent? I like it. Good point.

Well we finally found Slobodan Milosovic's mass graves (justification for the Serb war), they were in Iraq. LOL.

Tell me, Mike. Since you believed the lies of genocide the left championed in Serbia and you still believe the war in Servia was a necessity (regardless of the fact that it violated the self-defense clause of NATO). I'm sure you believe after undisputable proof of genocide in Iraq that the invasion of Iraq was a necessity.

I lived in Germany in the early 80's for over 3 years (during the time of the wall) and then lived there again for 3 years in the late 90's, both times as a member of the USAF. I found in my over 6 years as an resident of your country that most Germans are socialist to the core. Your people believe that government is the answer to everything. Don't even attempt to preach morals to the US...your country has a lot to prove before anyone can believe there's any such word in your language. Until the majority in your country reject marxism and socialism....we don't have a lot in common.
