Or maybe the 250 dead soldiers in Lebanon was what you were talking about? That worked too eh? Perhaps you meant the hundreds of dead in the embassy bombings. More examples of the practice working? Read the previous posts to try and make sense of what we have been talking about. All you are doing is listing examples of poor policy making, and I probably would agree with you.
Perhaps I'm being a buttinsky in the conversation. I apologize if so. But it appeared to me that you were making the case that intervention works.
