Criticism from the Right is always...how should I say this...right.

Clinton's policies in Kosovo were disasterous and we are still paying the price. Ninety percent of the time the left is just spewing socialist, appeasing, Anti-American platitudes. The left hates America and wants to destroy it. The Patriots on the Right love America and will do anything to protect it from terrorists and the criminals on the left.

Your equation of the Right and the Left worries me. One is right the other is wrong. It does not cut both ways. You have now applied the cultural relativism you learned in school to politics. You need to see the left much like terrorism. It is Good and Evil my friend. Bush = Good. Clinton = Evil. Kerry = Evil. There is nothing we should not be willing to do in order to fight Evil. Or don't you agree?

No, I don't agree. We shouldn't send troops anywhere unless we are directly threatene, and in imminent danger. I don't think any war this century qualifies except maybe WWII. If you want to go fight "evil" yourself, then feel free to go there. But don't use the government to further your means.

By the way, many conservatives opposed the war, including Bob Novak. There's nothing wrong with opposing humanitarian missions like Iraq as long as you're consistent. The people I have real problems with are the people who were against Kosovo intervention, and for Iraq intervention, and vice versa. It's pretty hypocritical.
