guest although innocent civilians were killed in the bombing of Yugoslavia, I think most agree that it was a worth while cause to stop ethnic cleansing and the corrupt govt of Milosevic. After 78 days of bombing they gave up, now they are on the way to democracy (and I doubt there are many terrorists or ethnic cleansers coming out of Serbia).

LIke wise the US strikes on Libya following the Lockerbie bombing and other terrorist incidents in the 80s. We certainly dont hear much from Khaddaffy now. it really does work. THere is also a difference if you are targeting civilians as the Sept 11 terrorist cowards did (and they are cowards, why not take credit or responsibility if you are a hero), and targeting military targets in a defensive war and happen to hit innocent civilians.
