Also the Kosovo and Yougoslavia wars were a big lie. We didn't go there to help anybody. We went there to break up a sovereign nation who was struggling against a bunch of terrorist who were coming from Kosovo and Albania.
Of course, it was a " fair " war. Normal, Clinton was leading it.

Congratulations Mokuhadzushi, you've learned your CNN lesson pretty well.
Yugoslavia was confederation of region, as Switzerland.
Some terrorist groups, mainly from Kosovo and Albania started to commit atrocity against EVERYBODY, even their own peoples.

1) Thanks.. but what do you mean by that ?
2) No... Switzerland is over 900 years old, a well grown confederation with a fiery swiss identity. "Yugoslavia" was forced into its shape by the victors of WW1, in order to split up the Austro-Hungrian Empire. For strategic reasons, former croatia, slovenia, etc.., former autonomous kingdoms in the Austro-Hungarian Empire were tied together under the serbian, slavic, rule. It was an experiment of a state containing about ten (10 !) different ethnic/territorial groups. Until the nineties, there was a continous history of violence between the ethnic groups. In no way comparable to switzerland.
3) I still maintain that the Bosnia intervention was direly needed because of an ongoing imperialistic ethnic war between serbs, bosnians, and croats.
4) The difference between Kuwait and Bosnia is obvious .. in Bosnia, the people were oppressed, while in Kuwait strategic american interests (money) was in danger. That is the hypocrisy i'm speaking of...
5) i mentioned the US oil policy interests in Kuwaitbecause ultra brought that in as a legitimacy for the current invasion of Iraq (or at least so i understood).
