Will, you said something above about us "breaking" all sorts of countries. You do realize that the density of variables in each of those situations is so thick that that comment makes no sense, don't you?

No more or less thick on average than Afghanistan (which was in the middle of a civil war when we invaded) or Iraq (which was collapsing under sanctions). If you're going to honestly sit there and suggest that somehow overthrowing democratically elected governments is somehow less intrusive than what we've done in Afghanistan and Iraq, I'm afraid you've lost all perspective.
