: SDF: This was also behind the German rationale for invading Poland in 1939. The German propaganda of September '39, as multiple historical sources will show, claimed that Poland was invading Germany, and so the Luftwaffe went right in and bombed, its pilots under the assumption that they were "defending the weak from the strong."So what you're saying is, there's never any good reason to lift a hand to help others. Might as well stay in bed.
: Same thing with the war against Serbia. The US embarked on a COMPLETELY GRATUITOUS war -- bombing Kosovo DIDN'T defend anyone, the eventual settlement was something completely different from Rambouillet, which was a surrender demand.

Yes, yes, yes - how many times must I repeat that diplomacy was miserable, if not sabotaged? However, once the Serbs began their campaign of terror against the Kosovars, all your academic handwringing became the luxury of an intellectual leftist safe in his house, pounding out anti-capitalist diatribes while men and women fled for their lives halfway around the world.

Now, for some reason, the rest of your message disappeared, so I can't respond point for point, but I do know that you snidely accused me of loving the status quo. Since your attributing all sorts of sins to me, I may as well walk away and leave you in peace to dream up all the other evils I secretly worship. Have fun.
