SC, This sounds good on paper, but wouldn't we really be tackling a project without end? Are you referring to military interventions? Or a more nuanced, engaged sort of soft power? When lives are at stake (Somolia, Rwanda, Iraq) it would involve military action after a short (6 months at most) attempt at diplomacy. On complex issues like North Korea (made complex by their existence under a Chinese defense umbrella) it would have to be diplomatic. John
