Erm,. it's funny how everyone forgets that little war in 1999.
:wink:
Clinton had UN sanction to go in there (actually, more like "begging"), so if there was any distortion of the situation, it was the UN, not him.
Nope, Kosovo was not a UN-sanctioned campaign.

I'm studying for the CPA exam. Have a nice summer, and if you're down just sit back and realize that Joe is off somewhere, doing much worse than you are.

The Afganistan campaign will happen too in this ATL. No Iraq war - saddam is a nice whipping boy for Clinton - Sudan is a bigger terrorist hell hole and the atrocities happening there will make it much easier to get a UN backed campaign against them.
