Correct. Our function there was not to establish Serbian dominion.
Your function was to create a terrorist state in the very heart of Europe and establish a strong military base. Which you did. And stop talking about democracy, you sound like a parrot that only repeats the words without understanding of them.

That is incorrect as well.

Because you CANNOT impose something to other nations just by using brute force and just by thinking you are in the right! Because you are NOT in the right.

Your version and understanding of democracy makes me very uncomfortable. By the way, Americans did not invent democracy, and brute force does not justify your "wish to establish democracy". Why? Cause you don't care about other nations. You involve only if the involvement pays off in terms of economy, military or whatever you consider to be your interest. And then you call that "democracy" to get support inside your own country and wash your face in front of other nations.

Thats not an example of hypocrisy. Do you understand what hypocrisy is?

Quote:
hypocrisy

noun
1. an expression of agreement that is not supported by real conviction
2. insincerity by virtue of pretending to have qualities or beliefs that you do not really have


http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/hypocrisy
Hypocrisy is saying one thing and doing another. Right now our actions are consistent with our words. So we are not being hypocritical.


Quote:
Because you are NOT in the right.
Hypocrisy isnt about being right or wrong. It is about being consistent with your own beliefs or words.


Quote:

Sorry to hear that.

Unfortunately, this is a public forum. So I am allowed to express whatever thoughts I wish. Whether you agree with them or not.

You do have recourse; you could choose to ignore me. But I am not going to stop talking merely because you don't like what I have to say.


Quote:
By the way, Americans did not invent democracy
Who is claiming otherwise?

The concept of democracy predates America by a couple thousand years.



Quote:
Why? Cause you don't care about other nations.
I disagree.


Quote:
You involve only if the involvement pays off in terms of economy, military or whatever you consider to be your interest.
How did you determine that the two are mutually exclusive? Are you saying it is impossible for us to really care about the People so long as we are benefiting militarily/economically/or whatever?


Quote:
And then you call that "democracy" to get support inside your own country
If what you are saying is true, what would be the point of labeling any action in defense of "democracy" at all? You are claiming we only care about personal gain. So why would "democracy" have any affect on swaying the American masses towards a particular action?

I know what hypocrisy means, you don't have to give me no vocabulary definitions. USA foreign policy is a school example of hypocrisy. And I know you know that, you just don't wish to say it loud.

If so you used the word incorrectly above.

Someone who is doing "wrong" in your opinion is not necessarily being hypocritical.

What are we being hypocritical about? Your example above was not an example of hypocrisy.

It would be like Russia saying "We need to stop the US from regaining Mexico".
We'd better support Mexico for gaining Texas.

We have not empowered masses. We have empowered the KLA. How many times shall we go over this?

Do you know this quote: "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do." - Luke 23:34

I think it readily applies here, have a nice life supporting terrorists. When international straights become deviated and relations are dire, America will take a step back and say - did that come from Kosovo? But it couldn't, they're a democracy....
