Reply #31: You're bragging about the US bombing defenseless civilians. This isn't [View All]

a "selling point" for Clark -- it's an indictment.

The Kosovo war was not heroic (or humanitarian), any more than the Iraq war was. In fact, it was very much of a piece with the Iraq war. The main difference was simply that the US tried to pig up Iraq all for itself, while it was willing to share pieces of the former Yugoslavia with European allies (aka imperialist rivals).

Bombing defenseless civilians isn't really something you earn "bragging rights" for. However, when your entire political analysis is at the grade-school level of "Stick that in your WWIII pipe and smoke it!," I don't suppose you're quite ready to appreciate that.
