Haiti, Rwanda, Iraq (under Bush 1, when they really were trying to rebel against Saddam, but our buddy Cheney said it was not in our interest), Serbia, the West Bank.

"Do you believe US military force should ever be used to liberate a non-US population? If so, under what circumstances?" Actually, I do. But not unilaterally or mostly unilaterally as in Iraq. Liberating populations is something that smacks too closely of colonialism, which has a bad name these days. A true, multi-lateral force wouldn't have the same problem. Yeah, yeah, I know. There are a large number of countries in the present force. But the number two force, the British, have never amounted to more than 10,000 or so. There are what? 150,000 American troops? I doubt if the rest of the coalition amounts to another 10,000 in toto.
