Ah, yes. This is the
real question, isn't it? To what level is the U.S. willing to involve itself in the affairs of other nations? Are we really interested in taking the 'world's police force' moniker seriously and wading in to situations like the god damned nightmare that is Africa, or North Korea, or Saudi Arabia? Or are we interested only in preserving enough order in the middle east to keep our oil cheap and reliably available until the oil companies can figure out how to maintain their current profit margins selling us hydrogen or similar non-oil fuel sources?
I don't have an "answer" to this question, by the way. I think there are valid arguments for both intervention and non-intervention in world affairs, that aren't necessarily affected even by the "new" world of terrorism in which we live.
I just think geep really hit the nail on the head with that question.
