LETTERS: TROUBLE, JUST BOMB ANOTHER NATION

To the editor:

Ever notice how whenever this so-called commander-in-chief gets into trouble, he bombs some poor country that has never harmed the United States? I'm a Vietnam vet. I love my country. I love my Constitution. And I am still quite capable, prepared and more than willing to fight any enemy, foreign or domestic. Quite frankly, the only enemies that I see right now are domestic, and most of them live in Washington, D.C.I am highly peeved with the sell-out Republicans and Democrats acting in collusion to send Americans into a war with Yugoslavia. The Republicans will meekly wimper that they are supporting the troops. The way you support U.S. troops is to keep them at home and use them when the country is attacked or when there is a direct U.S. interest abroad. These Republicans are phoney baloney in their mock support of the troops.

When the Russians launched an all-out war and butchered hundreds of thousands of Chechnyans, Clinton called that an internal Russian affair. Why was Bosnia not an internal Bosnian affair.
