What has happened to our image as a beacon of freedom, opportunity and the right way to live?
Much of the world fears or hates us. We have a proclaimed policy of attacking any country whose policies or regimes don't follow our dictates.
Why have we become the biggest bully in the world?
I'm confident in the courage and judgement of President Bush. Bush has an optimal outcome in sight. He's working toward an "Everybody wins" diplomatic and political solution. Everybody wins, that is, but the Iraqi thugs. They're gone.
Much like we did to Serbia.
Japanese thinking circa late November 1942.
Have you got a shortlist of folks with whom I can inquire?
I'm very interested in others you have threatened here on the forum should they voice a criticism with which you don't agree or respond in kind to your consistently inflammatory, personal attack ("the issue is you") type posts.
How about them?...your all peace loving president Clinton bombed the living daylights out of that country under the mantra that Milosevicz was a mass murderer, which in terms was proven he was not! They in the all mighty Hague Court(the best in the world) have one hell of a time proving it, and all those do gooders of new communists have a hard time proving it.
I am not embracing Milosewicz for a good guy, but honestly, we screwed up big time.
I am from Europe, know european history very well, especially Yugoslavia's, but let me tell you something...both wars, I mean WW it started in/with Yugoslavia, check the History.
If Clinton tought that you can conquer a country like the Yugo's by just bombing the living daylights out of them, he was very much mistaken.
Case and point...does anybody know what the hell are we still doing in that hell hole today after all that promises Clinton made?? Nope,...
Now, my friend how do you categorize what Clinton did, this is not colonization, it is utter incompetence.
One of my biggest disappointments with the Bush administration is the failure to prosecute the crimes of the Clinton regime and the continuation of his policies, notably the occupation of Kosovo.
The new policy of pre-emptive strike and comments in support of assassination are huge mistakes.
My understanding of the history of WWII is that it started with the Nazi invasion of Poland on the pretext of a Polish attack on German soldiers. With the complicity of the evil 'Uncle Joe' and the Soviet Union. Why do you maintain that it started in Yugoslavia?
linton tought that you can conquer a country like the Yugo's by just bombing the living daylights out of them, he was very much mistaken. Case and point...does anybody know what the hell are we still doing in that hell hole today after all that promises Clinton made?? Nope,...
Does anyone believe a word Clinton says?
my friend how do you categorize what Clinton did, this is not colonization, it is utter incompetence.
I categorize what he did as criminal and regret that he has not been punished.
"The new policy of pre-emptive strike and comments in support of assassination are huge mistakes."
I agree with you and I disagree with you.
Bush should have investigated and prosecuted Clinton and anyone in his administration who committed crimes. He didn't because he wanted Washington cleaned of the Clinton mess. He cleaned it up by ignoring it and that is the wrong way.
His pre-emptive strike and assassination talk are not a continuation of Clinton policies. They are hard line, necessary actions. We can't wait for another terrorist attack. We need to prevent the next one.
