A Bad Precedent

by
Not to labor the obvious, but by now everyone surely knows to disbelieve anything the Clinton administration or NATO says about its war of aggression against Yugoslavia. Slobodan Milosevic may have accepted NATO's demands, which could lead to an end to the bombing. But that doesn't change the fact that this has been a dishonest and illegal war. The war is illegal because Congress passed no declaration of war as required by the Constitution. Moreover, it also violates the War Powers Act, which requires any war not approved by Congress to cease after 60 days. President Clinton has defied the most fundamental law of this land. It's too bad the country isn't up for another impeachment. He has lied consistently about the war. He has said that NATO forces are not assisting the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA), the Marxist-led paramilitary group that seeks to unite Serbia's Kosovo province with Albania.

Warfare-Welfare in Yugoslavia

More than 80 years ago, the United States entered World War I with the express purposes of making the world safe for democracy and making that war the one that would end all future European wars. The intervention was a radical departure from the foreign policy that George Washington had enunciated in his Farewell Address and which had been followed by the American people for more than 100 years — stay out of European conflicts and instead let America be a beacon of freedom, peace, and prosperity for the world.

The consequences of World War I were exactly the opposite of what were intended. The chaos of war, the devastation of Germany, and the Treaty of Versailles gave rise to Adolf Hitler, Nazi Germany, Communist Russia, and, a short time later, World War II. Democrats and Republicans have always ...

Bill Clinton: World Cop

by
In a major foreign-policy address delivered a few months back in San Francisco, President Bill Clinton solemnly affirmed that everything everywhere in the world is the business of the United States. If you ever entertained the thought that we Americans should be free just to live our lives, raise our families, and participate voluntarily in our communities — forget it. The president of the United States has plans for us and our money. "Today," Mr. Clinton said, "we must embrace the inexorable logic of globalization — that everything, from the strength of our economy to the safety of our cities, to the health of our people, depends on events not only within our borders, but half a world away." Let's pause here to let this sink in. That is truly an extraordinary statement. "Everything depends on events half a world away." Really? Lest you think Clinton has an unrealistic agenda in mind, he added, "We cannot, indeed, we should not, do everything ...
