Milosovich wanted the islamic fundamentalists out of his territories.

Sadly, most Americans have no idea about foreign affairs, particularly since there is no draft, they feel they have no need to be informed.

The attacks on our troops in Bosnia were unanswered, thanks to clinton policy.

After getting two children through the public schools (which in our area are excellent) I must say that the curriculum is woefully short on world history and geography. I myself had to learn where a whole bunch of "stans" were during the Afghanistan operation, but those were countries which were only provinces of the USSR when I was in school.

I think the lack of education in geography is especially hurtful to our country. Geography gives you bearings in the world, so that you know when you hear "Indonesia" you can visualize jungles rather than the Arctic tundra. Without geographical knowledge, all of the names of countries are simply words.

Very true. It's so frustrating! If Clinton focused as much on National Security and the safety of our Military and maintaining it, as he did his fly, much of the trouble we're going through today wouldn't have been necessary.
