Right. Talk about priorities. Balkan & Darfur ok for sending troops, but not for Iraq or Iran.
That's just it. If the engagement is unrelated to our national interests , then it is a noble one. However, if there is some correlation between military action and our national interests, then that is greedy, selfish, imperialist, and EVIL. The only military engagements that are to be permitted are those that have nothing to do with our national interests.
