No, but I didn't support him on the issue- thats for DAMN sure! As for 'turned out of office', I think we can both Grok that bombing a factory is bad, but its not exactly claiming clear-and-present-danger, launching a 'pre-emptive' war, killing 10-15,000 people and occupying a nation.

Well, it doesn't bother me that we blew their camp to bits. If there were no terrorists there, well, thats just a loss.

Yes, I read your reply. There were around 100,000 dead in that conflict, and those deaths were about an ethnic cleansing or a series of ethnic cleansings. You know my basic feelings/thoughts about GloboCop matters, but you don't get much mileage out of me when you claim that around 100,000 dead does NOT constitute an ethnic cleansing while, say, 200,000 does. Sort of splitting the hairs of the dead, and somewhat odious at that.
