The death toll was indeed significantly less than original numbers but the displacement numbers (a million people forced from their homes because of their ethnic origin) was horrific. America fought the good fight here. Not for any economic or political advantage, but because it was the right thing to do. Only Phil of the right wingers on this board has said he was wrong in originally opposing Clinton's intervention, and even he has never condemned the traitorous republican actions of voting to cut off funding to our armed forces while they were engaged in combat.

I find it so aggravating right wingers let their hatred of Clinton override the morality of his actions in Kosova. At the same time, they are spewing venom at anyone opposing Bush's imminent war in Iraq. This double standard really gets under my skin. Clinton had no trouble uniting NATO behind the Kosova war because the situation obviously demanded immediate action. Bush on the other hand is having a far more difficult go of it because the situation with Iraq is less clear cut in the eyes of most of the world.
