99. That's a contradictory answer
On one hand, you claim not to be calling us a cult. Then you quote a definition that says the term "cult" is used specifically because it "has a negative connotation" (from wikapedia).

But you don't answer the basic question. How do we differ -- that is, how is our "adulation" excessive (again, from wikapedia) -- compared to the supporters of any other political leader?

The only difference I can see is that YOU don't approve of it.

Oh, and fwiw, Clark prosecuted the Kosovo War, not the Bosnian War. In fact, he helped negotiate the peace treaty that ended the Bosnian War. Also, Clark is not an "ex-general." I'll assume you are just being imprecise and not ignorant.

But thanks for the clarification. I can't get too concerned about how my character is judged by someone who thinks letting a million people, give or take, be slaughtered would have an ok thing to do.
