What you overlook

1) There was no 'genocide' in Yugoslavia. There was brutal oppression and massacres and yes ethnic cleansing, by the Serbs and the Croats (see Krajina) and also the Muslims (see Kosovo after NATO). The crimes committed by the Serbs were more numerous simply because they had more guns. But this was never the black and white, good vs. evil situation Clinton made it out to be. And the only reason Muslim countries jumped on the bandwagon to bomb Serbia was because Serbia was fighting against Muslims. If they really cared about massacres and ethnic cleansing, they didn't seem to mind it when Muslim governments, like in Sudan, committed such crimes.

2) The Iraqi people are solidly behind practically ANY effort to forcibly remove Saddam from power. (in fact they tried themselves in 1991 but we let them down) The vast majority of Iraqis who have managed to flee Saddam's reign of terror have attested to that fact.

The Iraqi people have suffered enough. It's time for them to be liberated.
