US Army on Russia's doorstep. "Clear violation of international law" But the US gets to keep a base, formerly in Serbia, in exchange for support of Kosovo independence.

Recall that republicans (justly) criticized Clinton for his "justifed wars" in this arena, which GWB in fact ran on (as Ron Paul reminds) against advocating a "humble foreign policy, no policing the world". Then republicans do the same thing in Iraq and Afghan, and now even applaud (as does Bush) the regional conflict.

Also funny, the U.S. now officially applauds their declaration of independence from Russia while making war upon the Southern States when they seceded (the Civil War)!

Don't look for consistency in what is considered "justice" in the U.S. empire where PAX AMERICANA is the ambition.
