[Know your rights]

Insist all you like that your definition is the correct definition ... the fact remains that to paleoconservatives nation building is seldom if ever so vital to the interest of the US as to justify the expense in dollars and blood of military force. And with the possible exception of Lebanon (from which we withdrew) Reagan seems to have agreed.

You're right. It was the Dallas School system PTA that invaded Grenada.

The CIA(and US military advisors) involvement in Nicaragua was cost free.

And of course Lebanon doesn't count because it was an exception.

How about the first Gulf War? According to the Paleo King, Pat Buchanan, that was a nation building project of the Amen Corner. Is restoring a previous legally legitimate Government OK by you?
