"And we should leave; what, are we their hostages? Again, let them diaper themselves."

You are obviously also missing some news: We're closing some of our bases in Germany much to their chagrin.

"What's yer point?"

My point is that CLinton did stuff regardless of what the 'right' thing was, and the Balkans were an issue he shouldn't have gotten involved in but thought he could manipuilate to his advantage.

It is largely outside of your initial premise.


"See above answers."

So you're an isiolationsit.
Sorry, that won't cut it.
It didn't work in the 1930's and 40's.
It won't work now.

LOL..I guess I do have some isolationist tendencies, but I would argue that this conversation is hardly proof of that. I would also argue that it was not tried in the '30s and '40s.

But that's okay. If I agreed with absolutely everything on this site, it would be pretty boring, wouldn't it?

And I agree completely with you on Clinton's adventures in the Balkans - we never should have gotten into it. But I wholly and completely supported the troops. I had a good friend who went over as part of Virginia's 29th ID - he was the Regimental Engineer. Was happy he made it home safely.

Besides, I do not have - and have not heard - a more practical or pracicable solution. We cannot, realistically or practically, wipe out every Muslim on earth, or every terrorist on earth.
