I could care less about China or anyone else. I just believe that the US should not be an interventionist country.

So we should never intervene? Not in Darfur.. Not in Rwanda? Just let other countries/entities conquer and oppress millions, if not billions of people?

Do nothing to stop radical and fanatical governments with global ambitions of conquest from obtaining WMDs. We shouldn't prevent them from strapping biological or chemical agents to the chests of their martyrs, whom they send around the world to terrorize and kill innocent people?

We shouldn't intervene to stop wholesale slaughter and starvation?

We shouldn't intervene to stop pirates from seizing our ships and holding the crew hostage?

Just sit on our @sses and take what the world deals out to us, right?

Turn the other cheek and be meek??

So tell us GR.. Exactly WHEN do you think we should intervene?

Do you have a threshold on intervention?
