How about just calling me Kevin?

I don't understand how we decide that one country is important and another is not. Should it be because of the self interests involved? Or should it be for humanitarian reasons? If the first, then Kuwait was obviously a good decision. If the second, then we should have been in Rwanda.

Btw: I do not consider your position to be 'isolationist'. I would consider an isolationist to be someone who believed that we should NEVER get involved with any conflicts outside of the US. I think it is prudent to consider carefully which ones we get caught up in.

Important, topical question: if China attacks Taiwan, should we get involved and to what degree?
