You make a good point.Strategically that is a good point.Wars that are fought too soon cost us less lives that wars fought late.You don't want to help people because they won't be grateful? Europe has a seeming incurable superiority complex, yes, but what happened when no one moved to stop the Kaiser in WWI at the beginning, and then Hitler in WWII? We wait, and wait, until it gets so out of hand that we have to do something. Why do we always have to wait until we have to? What can't we deal with it now?
That fact is, history has shown us that when we stay out of other countries business, it eventually becomes our business.
Excellent point.I just wish these other countries would actually chip in with more than just a 100-1000 troops.
