In that I said a NATO AND UN mandate
There was no UN mandate - it was a NATO show, and so you are justifying Hungary 1956 and Czheckoslovakia 1968? I am glad Bush was so warmongering.
which means the MAJORITY of nations
WHat Majority? Did you poll Fiji? Or is this just another attempt to paint the world as European? And no one else matters? You are a good Kerryite.
So we see that (since NATO is not made up of 40 countries) that there was LESS of a mandate to go into Kosovo than Bush had in going into Iraq. And the truth still stands (and I noticed you avoided it). Both South Osetia and Kosovo were nations - outside the UN - interfering in the internal affairs of others.
WHile Iraq was UN sponsored (albeit they took 12 years to enforce the mandate).
I really don't believe you're characterizing the Kosovo situation accurately at all.
I am not characterizing anything. I am stating facts.
I'd hardly call genocide a "crutch". And the Russians were clearly lying.
No, in your opinion. However Artysim, an avowed liberal on these boards would disagree with you vehemantly. He has stated (and his sourced facts tend to support his contention) that the Russians were not lying. Only that you are chosing not to accept the fact you have backed yourself into a corner and are a worse war monger than Bush could even imagine to be.
Who the heck are you debating here? I'm not the entire US government, hehe. And for ANYONE to call me a "war monger" is just utterly ludicrous. I'm a pacifist by nature.
I am debating you, not the US government. And you are only a pacifist when the situation suits you as we have seen from your posts.
More importantly, you speak as if you are defending Slobodan Milošević.
Nice dodge, but it will not work. I am defending no one, I am just asking why you are trying to justify one action, and condemn an identical action. And the difference? You claim pacifism, yet both are naked acts of agression, the only difference is that you seem you have to support one - because clinton did it, while condemning the other - because Bush did it. Clearly it is not an issue with you of pacifism or morals or ideals, but pure and simple hatred of one man. And that appears to be what is making you so hypocritical in your defense, and making your defense look like a propaganda ministers nightmare. The only way you win, is when you talk to someone ignorant of your hypocrisy.
