I believe you're trying to accuse the left of hypocrisy but I could just as easily ask why the right wingers attacked Clinton's actions but supported Bush's. You can't possibly be saying that one side is hypocritical and the other is not, can you? You are using a very poor example.
In any case, I supported Clinton's actions and support President Obama's actions on the basis of necessary humanitarian intervention. President Obama is working through the UN, which is a reasonable and rational approach to dealing with an international situation. Clinton had NATO backing.
There is no possible, rational, honest way that you can justify Bush's invasion of Iraq. He stated that Saddam had WMDs. Such WMDs, he said, could pose a threat to the US.
The UN inspectors begged for more time because they were in Iraq and were finding no WMDs. The UN inspectors had to leave because Bush was determined to invade. I am not going to recount all the lies and the false reasons that Bush et.
Al. Used because I am sure that you are very familiar with them. Oh, and there weren't any WMDs.
Give up the effort because you just make your side look even worse.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
