re: #290 Feline Fearless Leader

We seem to swing between imperialistic colonialism and tossing to the wolves and never quite seem to hit something in the middle. You’d think there was some sort of principled middle ground that also took account of realpolitik and the fact that the country(ies) in question are not populated by faceless drones without thoughts for themselves.

To get back to this topic, I wonder sometimes if this is an indirect effect of our fairly entrenched two-party political dynamic. Not leveling accusations at either party, but since our political environment is so polarized, perhaps that explains why our foreign policy is so schizophrenic.
