Funnily enough, when you'd finished snipping, he didn't; but before you
started, the passage below appeared before your first comment above:-

"The Allies were wrong.  They needed to demilitarize Germany, and by the
1930s, all but abandoned it.  If they had intervened at key moments, such as
forcing the disbandment of the General Staff, Germany's teeth would have
been pulled without a single shot."

Do you see the first 4 words above? "The Allies were wrong"? The ones that
introduced the passage that you snipped without marking; that gave the lie
to your claim that AC was saying theat the US was wrong? Do you see them?

oh brother...try reading the thread instead of merely quote mining. it
was his argument...though it goes beyond your comprehension...that the
US waited and refused to intervene in ww2 and that it was wrong for
doing so.

just can't handle it, can you?


wrong...


ever hear of bill clinton? remember him? in fact, i remember an
'economist' cartoon about a man coming home (his house was labeled
'europe') with the house next door, labeled 'bosnia' on fire. the guy
says to his wife 'call the americans and ask them what they intend to
do about it.'

I repeat - in which alternative universe did your above scenario happen? In
which universe did the US unilaterally intervene by threatening to destroy
the *bosnian* government to stop the massacres in Kosovo?

Slobodan Milošević listen (help·info) (Serbian Cyrillic:
Слободан Милошевић, pronounced [sloˈbodan
miˈloʃevitɕ]); (20 August 1941 – 11 March 2006) was President of
Serbia and of Yugoslavia. He served as President of Serbia from 1989 to
1997 and then President of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia from 1997
to 2000. He also led Serbia's Socialist Party from its foundation in
1992 to 2001.

He was one of the key figures in the Yugoslav wars during the 1990s and
Kosovo War in 1999. He was indicted in May 1999, during the Kosovo War,
by the UN's International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia
for crimes against humanity in Kosovo. Charges of violating the laws or
customs of war and grave breaches of the Geneva Conventions in Croatia
and Bosnia and genocide in Bosnia were added a year and a half after

US intervention in bosnia:

The United States must escalate bombing in Bosnia partly to boost its
own credibility, Secretary of State Warren Christopher said Thursday,
as President Clinton's support for broader use of NATO military power
produced signs of anxiety and deep division in Congress
