I am with you. Maybe it is time for people to feel some pain of our inaction. I am ok with it. A few good genocides, some famines, a couple of high profile coups. It's all good.

Who will be out protesting these new military powers? How sexy will it be to bash other countries for using military force in a civilized world of lawyers and court proceedings?

Hmmm...it wouldnt be anything new. We are already ignoring much of the strife that exists in the world.

Yea, you can't have it both ways. We are involved or we are not. We sure the hell are not the worlds policeman and we sure the hell should not be the worlds savior. We learned that in Somalia the hard way.

Well its about time we spend more time, effort and resources here anyway, don't you think? We cannot be the policemen of the world and take care of every other country's problems, can we? I think its about time the world stops looking to America to cure all its ills.

Perhaps its time America got back to taking better care of its own and worrying less about things abroad.
