So Iraq was started on principles, while Libya is all about self-interest?
Iraq has gone awry and cost us $1 trillion (who knows what amount now), thousand of lives and 10 years of war.
And Libya, if it works out, will make us money and help our business interests and provide a measure of freedom to the Libyan people.
Which was the better strategy? I wonder.[/quote]
Brian: Two things. First, I was dead wrong on Iraq and will be the first to admit that.
Second, it appears you are supporting the “American Empire” model in terms of intervention for economic and business interests. Do I have that right? Cuz, uh, that would really undermine most of what you’ve stated previously regarding America’s role in the world and justifications for intervention (hint: You know this intervention WAS NOT humanitarian, right? Just checking).
