The U.S. also never invaded and occupied Serbia. The U.S. also acted to stop an ongoing genocide there.
its fair post. if you insult his boy, he insults your boy. im waiting for the John Kennedy and Ronald Reagan criminal polls now.
In 1996 I saw a documentary that proved Clinton was in the Mob. I am not sure if he is a war criminal but I do know he is a criminal mastermind mafioso criminal crime boss who organizes crime!
The first time I heard of Bill Clinton, I was at Mojo Nixon concert at Fitzgerald's, probably 1990, and he has this song called "Put a Sex Mo-Sheen In The White House." Anyway, he broke it down during the solo, and went on a rant about this guy from Arkansas named Bill Clinton, who was a) a sex mo-sheen b) going to be in the White House. This was before the primaries, really really early, before the campaign. I did not know that this Bill Clinton guy was actually a politician, I thought he was some musician or weirdo in the Beat Farmers or something. Nice call, Mojo, right on both counts. War Criminal is not the relevant term for either Bush or Clinton, I don't think. Lots of people are war criminals. You could argue that Truman was a war criminal and so forth. I mean, which president could yo not argue that for? Like maybe the Dobi Kung tribe or something, but most leaders can get nailed with that, strictly speaking. I think its a morally-relativistic debate, but a concrete term applied to leaders certain standard-deviations beyond the mean - Milosovic. Saddam Hussein, etc. Not that killing is right - it is not - but I think that term is an attempt to make concrete something that is unfortunately grey - the difference between justifiable killing and unjustifiable murder. It's not the sort of term that is going to get us anywhere, at this point. The term "really dangerous president," however, hits my ears better. "Someone who has made mistakes that we really really need to not repeat" might be another. "A president who has helped cultivate decades of sucidial terrorism whilst treating acute global crises in a dangerously aloof fashion" might be something I could go with. Not "War Criminal" though, it doesn't really get the picutre to me. For Clinton? How about "Sex Mo-Sheen."
There can be little doubt about Serbia's contribution to regional instability at that time. NATO was concerned that the instability would continue and spread. The threat was imminent. Now if Clinton invaded Yugoslavia before it split up, stating that he feared regional instability, Clinton might later be regarded as a forward thinker but he would also be a war criminal as well since the threat was not imminent.
I see this comment from you quite often... I take it you are you in favor of: a 21-point expansion of Social Security a full-employment program a permanent Fair Employment Practices Act a public housing and slum clearance program a rent control program huge funds for trouble spots around the world major treaties that commit us to defend a bunch of other countries calling the Taft-Hartley Act a "slave-labor bill" and opposing it at every opportunity higher minimum wage greater unemployment compensation increased housing assistance national health care more Federal funds for education tax cuts for the poor Congressional investigations into mismanagement and fraud in DOD even if it "might hurt the troops' morale" strong US support of the United Nations (and maybe even naming Hillary as UN Rep) new Federal positions concerned with minority voting rights dismissal of a popular general when he questions a President's war-time decisions this quote: Experience has shown how deeply the seeds of war are planted by economic rivalry and social injustice. and this one: It is understanding that gives us an ability to have peace. When we understand the other fellow's viewpoint, and he understands ours, then we can sit down and work out our differences. and this one: Those who want the Government to regulate matters of the mind and spirit are like men who are so afraid of being murdered that they commit suicide to avoid assassination.
