"Its a very serious question and plays to the role the US has taken on for itself; "

Nope it was a facetious snipe.

"So......do you think we should invade Darfur next; then the Congo; followed by Burma?"

The US military does not have unlimited resources, is not all powerful, is not a mercenary army for hire, nor is it a world police force.

"that is, the policeman to the world."
"My point is there are way too many bad dictators in this world for one nation to take on. "

Had you simply said that instead of implying something false about my viewpoint, I would have simply agreed with you.

"That means the very, very bad precedent set by invading Iraq must stop with Iraq."

Except that I've never seen the invasion of Iraq as a precedent for invading every country that has a dictatorial leader. That's just you making stuff up about my view point.

Thats why I labeled your question to be insincere and poorly presented in the first place.
