Unless you believe that might makes right, of course not.
Don't tell a liberal that. Liberals think that humanitarian issues justify . . . no, DEMAND . . . the involvement of the so-called civilized world. Too bad there's no end to humanitarian issues.
The bigger problem is that Liberals never see the adverse long-term consequences of their bleeding-heart policies. Right-wingers too, I suppose. Nixon, for instance, thought it was wise to release trade barriers against one of our biggest enemies, China. Doing so gave us 40 years of low prices on almost everything. Unfortunately, the real cost was to our manufacturing advantage, our technological lead, our knowledge base, our employment levels and salaries, our strong currency, our military superiority, our debt.
We're now in no position to challenge China on anything. Without firing a shot, China can retaliate by flooding the world with dollars or by refusing to sell to us at all (which would wipe out all of our retailers practically overnight.)
What an ugly situation. Our leaders just don't think.
