When Clinton bombed Serbia, Sudan, Iraq, and Bosnia without UN approval (and in the process killing innocent civilians and ruining vital infrastructure), why weren't there mass protests in the streets condemning his "illegal" wars?

I'm under the impression that "anti-war" people don't give a damn about the war in Iraq, they just don't like Dubya.
(remember kiddies, we had congressional approval for all of the above listed items AND the invasion of Iraq also...)

Probably the same reason there weren't many Muslims in the streets condemning the slaughter of innocent civilians at the World Trade Center.

That's interesting.... when did Clinton bombed Sudan or Iraq? I must've slept through those two.
Serbia and Bosnia was the same issue, it was done by NATO not the US with UN approval AND finance. The US paid 2.3 billion dollars for the intervention in Sarajevo (Bosnia-Serbia) the UN paid for the remaining 13 billion.

because the media never reported it as a presidential decision until after the UN had taken things over... then it kind of got swept under the rug...

Because he did not keep doing it for years at a time and kill hundreds of thousands of people. Oh wait, the liberal media made that up!

He had congressional approval and didn't lie about his motives.

It was a one time action and two thousand American soldiers didn't die.

Most people don't remember it, because it accomplished nothing.
