Ian Buruma's "Wielding the moral club" makes the mistake of assuming it's America's duty to stick it's finger in every blood feud in the world, its only moral matter of choosing which ones...

That's the job for volunteers for the Peace Corps, U.N., and for shooting wars, mercenaries and voluntary soldiers who wish to pile on.

There's nothing in the US Constitution that gives us the right to go around the world chasing Iraqis, Palistinians, Liberians, Africans, Latin Americans etc.

Only things like PNAC can contort logic and create enough lies to attempt to justify America-led worldwide war, in complete contradiction to the declared reasons we had the 911 attack in the first place: our military presence in the blood feuds of the M.E.
