From ‘Preemptive Offenses’:

‘..Savages speak only one language: the language of deadly force. If you want to police the world, you have to be ready to use it, without hesitation and at the magnitude the situation demands. Failing that, stay home, guard the borders well, and let the wolves eat one another.’   The rest of it  (and much more fine reading besides)
Damn right–the only reason for Western countries to use military force should be to protect their interests. “Nation building” and enforcing “democracy” (something we could use ourselves) is an unconscionable burden on the taxpayer. And a dead-end. Civilization cannot be grafted on to third-world shit-holes that don’t want it, aren’t ready for it and which all too often embrace islam, an ideology adamantly opposed to civilized values.
Leave social work to social workers. It’s not worth one soldier’s life.
