I don't think you have got good points here, Ronin. Clinton went to war with NATO backing and military support.

NATO is not the UN. NATO will deflate as the French maintain to keep a balance with US supremacy. Look at the French and German military budget as a % of GNP for insight. Look at the spending curve thru the past 20yrs.
Maybe there is an arguement that the US wants democracy in the whole world and is willing to spend and have soldiers die for it. Maybe there is an arguement that democracys don't start wars. Maybe there is an arguement that a country with a strong economic system is only a market for US investors.
