Warmaking is about the most extreme activity the state can involve itself in, its price will be life and liberty. The negative results of our great victory in our last Iraqi go round (I still maintain that 911 belongs in part to that) should give us pause. America is at her best when she is the great importer of talent and distributer of opportunity. She is at her worst when she uses her force to choose winners and losers in economics or politics foreign or domestic.
