Syria became a perfect political football for President Obama

 reo, I've got you. When you were using Hitler as an example, you did not really mean Hitler, you mean somebody else who would be doing things like Hitler, except Hitler did not do those things.

 But it does not matter what Hitler actually did, since everyone knows that Hitler was a bad dictator, so it is Ok to compare him to other dictators regardless either they have anything in common with Hitler or not. Come on, it is Hitler. And Assad is just like Hitler, except they have nothing in common, but it is just a minor detail.

Pretty much yeah. It was used as an extreme example of how "never intervene in other country's affairs" could be bad. It wasn't used as a comparison. It was used as an extreme example to make a point. Glad you finally figured it out.

Was Clinton right to intervene in the Balkans or right to ignore genocide in Rwanda?

It's not a simple answer. But you will note that Clinton's regret for not helping in Rwanda is, in part, what led him to break international law and stop the killings in what was Yugoslavia.

 "Right" / "Wrong".... Blah, blah, blah... 

 

 Of course, only the down syndrome brothers (aka Starkiller & reo) believe in this shit. 

 

 The war on Balkans was about natural resources and American domination over the NATO and the region. Here is a good article about it.

 If you trust more liberal sources, then google Chomsky's article on that subject. It has a similar message.

 

 Several thousand civilians have died from NATO bombing (some numbers go as high 4,000), That is 10 times more than the number of victims of war crimes that Miloshevits (sp?) was accused of.

Sounds like bullshit...

Yes, people died in the bombing. That doesn't mean that things didn't improve in the Balkans following the conflict. People were dying prior to NATO taking action, too, not to mention being forced from their homes and persecuted. Milosevic wasn't going to just play nice because we asked politely.

Hell, where are the sources to prove it? Just because someone can write an anti-war conspiracy theory doesn't make it true. You can look at the other articles on the site and see that they are not exactly "fair and balanced".

I'm all for a good anti-war argument, but I don't go for the conspiracy theories.

No the red line there is kill all the babies you want as long as they're black.

The fact that you can't make an argument without juvenile personal attacks only serves to undercut you. It's not as if anything someone like you says can be taken seriously enough to bother me.

How many wars have been started by Democratic presidents that I am supposed to object to? I have no problem with Kosovo. You want me to go back to Vietnam? Sure I disagree with that one.

I was for Bush invading Afghanistan, too. I guess that makes me biased in favor of Dubya...
