  Fought?:-)  It was engaged in to divert the US public attention from the
Clinton/Gore woes, and, like most people the world over, the majority of
Americans had no real say, no real information, no time, no debate, and were
heavily propagandized over a long period by an interventionist minded
national media and  the liberal segment of the American Left (Think of them
as corrupted capitalists with a guilt complex if that helps:-)).  The last
point serendiptiously made it possible to quickly act when it became
politically useful to do so.

   The New Left was a sociopolitical movement that began in the 60's.  Its
followers are now safely entrenched in American academia.
