re: #170 Naso Tang

I don’t agree. Both factors play a role. Why did we get involved in Bosnia? Humanitarian reasons were as great as any, but on the political side we always have an interest in stability and a stability that shares something with us. I see nothing wrong or hypocritical with that.

Bosnia was in Europe. We would never have gotten involved if they were not.

I don’t have an objection to the U.S. acting on our own best interests. However, as everyone here has probably noted, I do have a violent allergic reaction to the pretense that humanitarian concerns come first.
