The Usurper: Given the choice of the first or the second options I would take the second one... what I am NOT willing to put up with is feeding them and sending them money when the mud huts they built bellow a muddy hillside get wiped out, and waste our time monitoring them to make sure they really arent making anymore weapons used to kill their own people.... if they can take my money they can take my telling them what to do as well, works with your kids, works with bank bailouts, why not with poor backwards countries as well?

Take away all that from the equation, and we are on the same side again, for awhile anyway, i would not support our military intervention in any country that we were not responsible for anyway, or who have asked for our help specifically!
