58. I was opposed at the time, and marched against it
I wrote my letters to Congress. Lots of Democrats didn't want to oppse the war, since it was Clinton's war, and he was being impeached at the time.

I don't know what happened - but I do know we were lied to quite a bit. I remember the same drumbeat of propaganda against Milosevic as I hears against Quadaffi and Hussein. The famous photo of a man in a "concentration camp" turned out to be a fraud, the rumors of mass murders always had their numbers rounded down significantly, and lots of unbelievable stories were thrown around but never any evidence.

Milosevic STILL hasn't been convicted as far as I know.

Who is responsble for the War against Serbia? President William Jefferson Clinton and the Democrats that supported him - Ted Kennedy, Robert Byrd, and John Forbes Kerry all voted to support the war I believe, while other prominent Democrats, like Howard Dean, cheerled from the sidelines.

Most Republicans were against the war if I remember correctly. Serbia was a 100% Democratic war. We now even have the NATO General who ran the war - Clark - running for President.

Democrats being anti-war? What a joke!
