How is this relevent to the conversation on Iraq? Unless you want to dive into the nuances of each action it doesn't add much value.

It's totally relevant to the point of Bush being charged with War Crimes for actions in Iraq which as you'll remember is the fourth choice in the poll question.
Or maybe we should start a new poll which could be:

Should Bush be held to higher standards than past Presidents?

Potential illegallity of the Balkins action under Clinton does in no way mean Bush is being held to a higher standard. Two wrongs wouldn't make a right...

I think there's good reason to take issue with both, but for very different reasons. To use one as a precident though doen't make much sense.

Your absolutely right.........and I never expected an answer from you or Skitter on the Balkins question. It just wouldn't fit.

Asking if you felt War Crimes were commited in the Balkins bombing isn't relative to your feeling that War Crimes were commited in the bombing of Iraq? Okay. Like I said I didn't expect you to answer.
