[QUOTE]Originally posted by Sol System: [QB] The thing is, the claim that the United States can somehow avoid "nation building" is so nonsensical that surely everybody knew it was just campaign trail hot air. NATO didn't intervene in Bosnia or Kosovo because the West is ruled by bighearted liberals. It did it because the former Yugoslavia was ruled by bankrobbing drug dealers eager to pour smack into and remove money from the streets of Berlin and Rome and Paris and Stockholm, and whose tactics for seizing power involved equipping very angry fanatics with very powerful weapons. I mean, the value here should be obvious. Serbia: NATO rained down smartbombs for two months and then put U.S. troops in Kosovo. Result: it is very hard to get truckbombs out of the area and into sensative western financial and political centers. Afghanistan: no one did anything. Result: a smoking crater in downtown Manhattan.
