kma--good that you pointed out what you were referring to--i did not get that part. sorry.
i would agree that my statement was too general--but for the cold war period, it is pretty accurate, sadly. and even now, it is more accurate than not. on the other hand, you could see somalia as an example of the problems that successive administrations have had since reagan in fashioning a general logic for american foreign policy...there seems to be a nostaligia for something like the cold war an the way it appeared to simplify the world. the bush squad seems to think that the "war on terror" whatever that is might function as a surrogate--but of course that is insane.
if you want to talk about people being killed needlessly, we could talk more about iraq...
