Well, I agree with what you said for the most part. I would not have protested the NATO bombings while our soldiers were in harms way. However, in retrospective I think that one can examine the wisdom of past military action.

Unlike most of the left, I do not equate outward protests to be the same as patriotism.

Absolutely, and while I'd still support US intervention in the Balkans, this is something that reasonable men can disagree on.

The reason I started posting on this thread in the first place isn't because I think Kosovo is a sacred cow, but because a poster said that he actually supported the Serbs for having the guts to "stand up" to Bill Clinton, as if fighting the US military were what true conservatives should have been doing all along. That's not questioning the decision to go to war, that's supporting America's enemies.
