jw....exactly my point now tell me why it wasn't just to invade Iraq after Saddam's treatment of the Kurds and the Shia of Iraq? It seems people have no problem fighting wars at 30,000 feet but when it comes to putting troops on the ground there is never justification.

Nothing can justify the killing of civilians or creation of such environments or circumstances whereby native civilians get killed, for no fault of theirs.
Be it Iraq, Afghanistan, Bosnia, Sudan, America, UK, Palestine or East Timur.
Wherever it takes place, it must be controlled and those responsible, condemned.
Those who veto such resolutions must also be hated and condemned.

I can't say anything about Bosnia because I didn't start paying attention to political stuff til around the time Bush got into office.
But yes, not everybody who believes the Iraq war isn't justitfied, thinks that Bosnia was justified.

It took Bush to get out soldiers out of Bosnia after Clinton said that he would have them home by Christmas.
He didn't say WHICH Christmas.
Our troops pulled out of Bosnia in 2005. We have a contigent that works at the NATO HQ's in Sarajevo.

The justification for Bosnia is that the press was closing in on ole Billy-Bob's sexual promiscuity, so he had to distract them and a skirmish was the quickest and easiest way to do that.
Same with Somalia, except that back fired and some good men lost there lives so he wouldn't get nailed for nailing some tramp.

we went to Bosnia to stop a genocide, no hidden agenda, no smoke screen, no propaganda. Not so with Iraq. If GWB had been honest about why we were going into Iraq then the last 4 years would have been quite different.

We had no national interest in Bosnia.
Therefore, it was justified. :)
Just like Darfur.
Odd that those who want the U.S. to stop genocide and mass killing elsewhere were always so willing to give Saddam a pass.

Who said that Bosnia was a good idea? And, more importantly, who are you that anyone needs to justify anything to?

Clinton didn't lie his *** off to get us into Bosnia.
