People think it ridiculous but I don’t flinch at this at all.
I really think we ought to come up with something like these popular gifting catalogues for helping others.
Lets list out all the horrible locales of the world and ask the sovereigns of the world if they are willing to take out the bad guys.
We did liberate Liberia under that premise. The US with about a dozen African nations got it done.
All of these rendezvous are inevitable by the end of the century and they are all easier to knock off than the Soviet Union was. The terrorist will gather there if we don’t so waiting them out does little good.
Let’s put Burma up on a ‘Coalition of the Willing’ chopping block. how many nations are willing to liberate and end their role?
—same thing with North Korea. We could even have covert conversations.
There are roughly 60 democracies including Poland, Australia, India and South korea that might opt in to various overthrows. Obama wants to pretend that Afghanistan is unique in this respect. He is just wrong. The US has never gone it alone though it almost always provides the majority of troops [not in Darfur or liberia].
Let’s start having open conversations among democratic sovereigns about carving up the non-democratic sovereigns. The mere conversations would bring about more reform than the UN centric corruption that essentially guarantees protections for the worst offenders of politics.
You make Woodrow Wilson look like a moderate in your vision of world policing. Where do you intend to get the money and blood to pay for this world social engineering? Please note that you will be depending on the scum of American society to carry out your plan: Demopublican politicans. I have a counterproposal. If you and people who agree with you want to undertake this crusade, you should be free to do so with your own money. On the other hand, if any other taxpayers don’t want to pay for it, we should be free to keep our own money and spend it as we see fit. Deal?
