re: #146 SanFranciscoZionist

Sure we can sit on the sidelines. We do it all the time.

People in small countries we deemed important enough to address, sure. Probably over five million people have died in Congo over the last twelve-thirteen years. What have we done? What have we done all over Africa? What did we do in East Timor?

Just to be clear, I’m not arguing against going into Libya, if there’s something actually to be gained for anyone from our doing so. I’m arguing that this is far from a clear-cut moral decision.

Clear-cut moral decisions have nothing to do with why the US gets involved in a conflict… it’s political decisions. Clear-cut moral reasons are simply the public realations for consumption at home.
