Beware said Ike, of the military/industrial complex. They've made their neo-con homes in the Rino party and preparing for perpetual war seems to be their game.
A damn dangerous fools game, imo.

I will agree with you that this solution is a fool's mission framed the way it is in this article.

The article does tempt when it says:
First, the United States must buck what is becoming a trend in the Western Hemisphere; namely, that democratic means are being manipulated by leftist leaders to preclude the United States from affecting or supporting "regime change," lest it appear to subvert the democratic process.

Democratic means are being used to seize power and asset control, not to thwart our "affecting" or "suppoerting". Like the islamic fascists say, "One Man -- One Vote -- One Time." The Rationalist Totalitarian Democracy threat is real, it is built into modern liberalism and will be defended by Jimmy Carter, the French Republic, Quebec and every school child raised on the teat of "democracy", the flavoring agent converted to the entre.

There is a nexus between these three countries and the problems exist, but thinking conservatives aren't out to manage the world.
