Subject: RE: Is anyone else as scared as I am?
Sometimes you have to do it because it's the right thing to do. A nation is suffering genocide for god's sake. No matter how many times we've been wrong before, taking Slob. M's gangsters out is the right thing to do. They need to be brought to trial and hanged. And incidentally, if you wanna talk about blame, western european nations are the ones who should have taken the lead on this back during the Bosnian mess.

Western europeans didn't object very much to our (U.S.)involvment (massive troop deployment & extension of our nuclear umbrella) when the soviet union was at it's peak because they all knew that without America's willingness to fight, Stalin's "iron curtain" would have descended on the west coast of Ireland. Western europe has become too much of a whining welfare state, as usual, America has to take the risks and lead the way, even against a criminal engaged in mass murder in their neighborhood for god's sake! The consequences of simply allowing criminal governments to run rampant are far worse than the risks of insulting the Russians or the Chinese. Oh they'll scream & howl, but they won't lift a finger to help their own people nor will they help Slob. M's gangsters. They know where their bread is buttered.
