1.) It was not the U.N. It was NEVER the U.N. You are thinking of Bosnia (another sham operation). The bombing campaign against Serbia in 1999 was a NATO operation led by the U.S. under Slick Commie Bill.
2.) It does not, in and of itself, provide the justification for Iraq. Coupled with the Iraq argument, the Kosovo material is useful in pointing out the extreme hypocracy of the so-called "pacifist" leftists/Marxists who attack Bush over the Iraq War and exult Clintoon over his violence against Kosovo.
Oh, and Where are the mass graves we were told were in Kosovo? (echo)(echo)
3.) On my death figures: Uh, yeah. I CAN compare one death theater to another, just ask the wacko lefties who can't make their argument against the Iraq war without making Vietnam comparisons.
4.) Serb Christians (or any Christians for that matter) were not then, and are not now car-bombing U.S. soldiers in Iraq. They do not strap bombs to their chests to kill innocent Jewish women and children when they are at play or rest (might I remind you that the Jews are our allies and our religious/ideological brothers). Serb Christians don't fly airplanes into the twin towers, killing thousands. Serb Christians don't saw the heads off hostages with regularity, proclaiming "Allah Ahkbar", or "god is great".
My dad sent me that list. Thought it was quite telling actually.
Nah, there's no media bias ...
>>Iraq was invaded unilaterally. The former Yugoslavia was through the U.N.
I thought Serbia was invaded by NATO and NOT with the 'blessing' of the UN? I recall the UN being in just as much of a snit about that.
From third party: "Where are the WMD's?" "The difference is that (the Iraq war) was unilateral"...these are verbatim DU talking points.
A member since yesterday, these are the only comments yet posted from thirdparty.
Oh, moderator, I believe we have a troll here.
Can we give him a troll welcome (ZOT)?

Yeah probably right about thirdparty being a troll. But the talking points are the same as many people I run into out here--most actually think the UN backed the air campaign against Serbia. They usually tell me I am wrong that it was strictly a NATO operation.
Damn, that was fast. You guys are getting good at this.
Happy troll hunting!
The 'Good and Bad Of It' - ping.
Thanks for the ping Happy. This is worth emailing on to friends.
"George W. Bushs Vietnam" ... quagmire ... "Saddam's torture chambers reopened under new management, U.S. management" ... Bush bad ... Democrats good ... blah, blah, blah ! ....
