There is a big difference between being antiwar when ones life is at risk as compared to when it is someone elses. That may tell us something about character. but there is more to it than that. Many who were opposed to the Persian Gulf and Vietnam Wars are now strongly supporting this socalled just and humanitarian war to punish those who are said to be totally responsible for the Yugoslavian refugee problem. The fact that Serbia is not Communist in the sense of North Vietnam may play a part for some in making the decision to support this war but not the war in Vietnam. But the Persian Gulf War was not at all about communism. it was about oil.
