With our bombings in Iraq. Afghanistan. the Sudan and now Serbia and Kosovo. we are bombing nations which have not threatened us in any way. which have not jeopardized our national security and where we have no vital U.S. interests. and we are quickly turning people who would like to be our friends into bitter enemies of the United States. We have taken a bad situation and made it many times worse by our bombings and have created a huge refugee crisis in the process. and all of this was done by the President apparently against the advice of his top military advisers and against the advice of the head of the CIA. The Christian Science Monitor. the National Journal and many other leading publications and columnists have pointed out that there are at least 30 or 40 other conflicts. small wars. going on all over this world right now. several far worse than Kosovo before we started bombing. Our policy should have been.
