Yaaaa - taking on murderous genocidal dictators is reduced to "Everybody else's business is our business". Notice every time the US bails out euro(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*) (FOUR times in the 20th century) they suddenly get real quiet about "Everybody else's business".

This would be the group we'd send in to mop up any "objectionable" foreign powers. Gender would not matter. Age wouldn't matter. Physical condition wouldn't matter. Mental stability wouldn't matter.

If nothing else, one thing I hope we've learned (this time) is that if you want to go in with guns blazing, you need a plan that extends past the V-Day celebration.

But one of my main questions: at what point does our government decide that it should take from the people it represents, to give to those it does not represent? It may seem like a cold question, but it is one which (IMO) MUST be answered before another feel good, multi-billion dollar crusade is begun. Forced redistribution of wealth is forced redistribution of wealth, no matter how you try to spin it. I generally do not agree with this scheme. And that's another reason I oppose fiscally liberal, nation building neoconservatism, as this relates it to its Trotskyite roots.
