".....the actual point I was making. Which is that the US uses its might to interfere ..."

Well now...that is an entirely different matter. We certainly DID interfere in other countries on a fairly haphazard basis. Some worked out, some were disasters.

Oil pipline? In Afghanistan? That was it? And you know this how?

It can be argued, (and often is), that we, as about the closest thing the world has to a trustworthy 'big brother', has **some** obligation to do **some** 'interfering' on behalf of the weak. Do Big Brothers sometimes guess wrong, or mistake personal interests for the interests of the weak? Yep...but you want we should go back to isolationism?


(I AM picky about language. "Invade" is a very loaded, important word. And I disagree with artbrooks about several items in HIS list...whether he was serious or not. Kuwait? THEY didn't call it an invasion)
