It was wet and muddy, and Caesar always tried to beat me to the other side. It wasn't fair! He had a horse... I remember the last time I crossed the Rubicon.

Somalia was actually a part of the cold war struggle between the US and the USSR. And Yugoslavia is probably tied into that as well. NATO might have wanted to get a foothold in the east-European territory, by the actions that it took. But I'm just guessing, of course. If someone (Danny?) has any real intelligence about that conflict, I'll gladly be enlightened. Ok I’ll correct myself on the last one.

I wish Israel could show such ruthlessness to its enemies. It shows a lot more cruelty to its own citizens, which is pure cowardice. As for the war in Yugoslavia, unless someone can come up with a <b>probable</b> ulterior motive, I will chalk this one up to public opinion. Just like the terrible and needless intervention in Somalia, which cost the lives of good men, and probably did not help the locals as it was supposed to on paper. Albert:

I WISH Israel could be Roman. I wish that we could conquer the promised land with the same cold-blooded efficiency and effectiveness that the Romans had.

They would all rather let those east-Europeans murder each other to the last, as there was no profit in intervening in that war. And there still isn't.

Drawing a line between switching to Euro and being invaded seems too far-fetched to me. Please show an example of a non middle-eastern country, which does not support terror/guerrila/nuclear war against the U.S, but still got invaded. Why is everyone so eager to make a big devil out of the United States? Their ruling factions are more of a Capitalist whore-house than a militant, tyrannical conqueror, that crucifies people.
