Re: Fires of revolution sweep the Aran World
So the moral decision to NOT mass murder civillians also happens to be the "pragmatic" choice?
I'd like two examples if you please:
1. A morally correct decision that you see as not being pragmatic.
2. An immoral decision that you see as being the pragmatic decision.
We invest billions... I'd imagine that our billions are a large portion of their economy. You think whoever takes power is going to stop taking our money or risk losing those billions by pissing us off?
As for NNPT, correct me if I'm wrong but the UN, not the US, enforces the NNPT.
Israel/Palestine - As much as I love Israel, why is this our problem/responsibility? If both sides agree to have us act as arbiter in peace negotiations then we have a responsibility but outside of that I see no reason to get involved.
Balance of Power in M.E. - Don't you want an imbalance of power favoring the US? I think that would be in our best interest but I don't believe propping up Pro-US puppet regimes actually accomplishes that goal.
