April 1st Joke?

The "Hack" seen on this site was a April 1st prank by myself and Keith Rowland, however it was also to make a point. Though I do not agree in any way with what the Serbs are REPORTED to be doing, it is none of our damn business.

The U.N. MIGHT make a case for intervention when one Nation invades another, as a Libertarian, even that causes me pause. To bomb until the Serbs agree to change their internal policy is folly. Will we bomb for a few more days, weeks, months? Will we declare victory if they agree to talk? Will that end differences that have been festering longer then we have been a Nation? Is this the "NEW WORLD ORDER"? I want no part of it.

If we must act beyond our own borders, then let us help those displaced by the madness. The real flow of refugees did not begin until our "goodwill bombing" began. Is our next act to be American troops on the ground? Would you see your Son or Daughter die to change attitudes in Serbia?

If War is to begin once again in Europe that is sad indeed, we should not light the fuse.

If this IS the "NEW WORLD ORDER", then where were we when a half million Africans were hacked to death? Where were we when millions were slaughtered in Cambodia? The World is not a nice place and OUR BOMBS will not make it so.
