Its still unclear to me. Fortunately, we have a test for ghoulishness. Pick one of the following:

[ ] I support using our military to acquire or control resources and trade routes from foreign lands

[ ] I support using our trade policy, backed by military might, to acquire or control resources and trade routes from foreign lands

[ ] I am actually a "real" free trader. If nations want to sell us resources, and we are willing to pay a fair market price, no strings attached, here is my purchase order. I'd rather the Marines were back at their US bases playing ping pong.

I don't expect an honest answer, but perhaps you can surprise me. So far teevee and "chuck" tie for the win of the honesty prize, with carranza2 coming in a close second.

Mostly I expect no answer or careful parsing of words designed to answer nothing.
