Subject: RE: Is anyone else as scared as I am?
I agree that it is totally hypocritical to say that the action being taken aganst Milosivich is for humanitarian reasons; as was pointed out, where was the humanitarianism when the Africans were in upheaval?

I do believe that the United States should use their power in self interest. You've got to protect yourself, not let anyone push you around, and keep yourself strong. As a weak nation the US wouldn't be worth much to the rest of the world.

I just don't see how US involvment in this conflict is in our best interest. I feel very strongly about American lives. If we are going to put our soldiers in harms way, there better be a sound reason for doing so.

What does Clinton think we're going to gain from being there and bombing? What is his motivation for involving the US there? I don't think he has any noble motives at all.
