While I am a Libertarian and think most of the money we spent to make other people comply to our desires was probably a waste, many of those millions of people probably deserved it. At the risk of sounding like a redneck, I think that most of what we do in the foreign world is wrong but we probably need to do it anyway.
For example (so you can understand), if we left opec to control prices of oil, we're paying $10 a gallon. If we make opec our bitch and level one of their members' countries every once in a while, we get $1.25 gallons. Supply and demand doesn't come off so simple when you can get your greedy ass kicked randomly.
I still haven't figured out why we're still mad at Cuba and why anyone's ever heard of East Timor. But for the record I think Indonesia can't be trusted and East Timor is proof that Muslim nations are bad. Very bad.
