US has attacked numerous sovereign countries, and we did nothing against them and even helped them. Numerous european/nato countries have solders occupying sovereign countries even today (even my shitty small one has soldiers in syria now), and noone cares about those countries, those people and those agressors (well.. us, agressors). Why are we acting differently now? I mean.. I know.. "it's ok when we do it", but atleast stop with the bullshit about sovereing states and lives, because we didn't care when we did the occupations and we still don't care while we're occupying those countries now. And again, I'm from a small shitty country, and our soldiers are currently occupying syria... countries like france, have a lot longer lists of occupied countries, and countries like america should be sanctioned to oblivion decades ago. > Wanting to separate is one thing, being the subject of a credible ethnic cleansing campaign is another. yes, and iraq has weapons of mass destruction. Parenti wrote a nice article about yugoslavia, including the ethnic cleansing part: https://web.archive.org/web/20200319062355/http://www.michaelparenti.org/yugoslavia.html https://web.archive.org/web/20200319062355/http://www.michae...

Again, what on earth does any of this have to do with anything? > yes, and iraq has weapons of mass destruction. Iraq is what it looks like when the US decides they're going to invade and manufactures an excuse. The WMD claim was bullshit, everyone at the time knew it was bullshit, anyone whose opinion was worth anything was calling them out on their bullshit. That's not evidence that the core claims about Kosovo (which are disputed by, at most, a handful of cranks) were false, it's evidence of the opposite; if the reason that even people critical of the US invasion agreed that the ethnic cleansing was happening is because of some all-powerful propaganda conspiracy, how come that all-powerful propaganda conspiracy wasn't deployed to the same effect for the invasion of Iraq?
