Observations on international affairs

I have a number of observations on Bosnia, Herzegovina, Iraq and the Sudan.

1. The military operations in Bosnia and Herzegovina and Kosovo were virtually the only things that President Bill Clinton did in his term of office that I totally approved of.

2. In 1998 the Congress and the Clinton White House enacted a resolution authorizing military action to remove Saddam Hussein from power. I have the hypothesis that if Al Gore had become president, he would have invaded Iraq. I also hypothesize that the large number of those who have opposed the Iraq war from the beginning would be supporting it. The exception would be the extreme left, which would oppose the war because they hate the country. Most of the people who oppose Operation Iraqi Freedom from its very beginning do so because of their psychotic hatred of President George Bush.

3. I note that many of the same people who oppose the Iraq war want the U.S. to act on the matter of the Sudan. The Islamo-Nazi regime in Khartoum, like its kindred regime in Baghdad, will have to be removed from power by military force. The U.S. would supply air power from our aircraft carriers in the Mediterranean Sea and Indian Ocean. The ground forces would be supplied by Ethiopia, Kenya and Uganda. The Sudan would then have to be partitioned, the black and Christian south area becoming independent.

4. If a President Al Gore had invaded the Sudan, many of those opposing the Iraq war would be supporting the Sudan War. However, if President Bush had invaded the Sudan instead of Iraq, the same people wold be the same ridiculous protesters with the same foolish slogans like "No blood for oil," and the same stupid calls for impeachment.

In summation, the so-called anti-war movement of today is as phony and immoral as that of the 1960s.
