Or maybe the former Yugoslavia when we went in there and took out leaders and played peacekeepers? But, that of course was a Democrat so it was alright. I'm not saying Reaganomics worked. For the most part they didn't except in helping us win the cold war. The tax cut will work if people spend it like the president suggested. Put it back into the economy, don't just toss it in the bank and let it sit there forever. Buy stuff support American goods.

Yes I can blame the war on the Republican hawks...... just look at the history of the domestic and international policy, and how it changed when the GW took office. While the US was involved in continued military action (along with the UK) against Iraq it was under the auspices of the international community and was tacitly approved of by the UN.
Kosovo was completely fucked up and would not have happened if the US had given the UN more military, legal, and political authority in Bosnia/Serbia/Croatia. When one nation invades another to protect its security and combat terrorism like the US did then thats okay, but when the Serbs do it, its wrong. Look at the history of the conflict a little more closely, including the spin and blatant lies the Pentagon issued. Ironic fact UCK the Albanian "freedom fighters" were trained and supported with money from the heroin drug trade (mostly out of Afganistan) and recieved money, equipment, and training from Mr. Ossama. Nothing is ever so simple as what the black & white interpretation presented by domestic US poltics (or for that matter any politcal party).
