However, there's a huge difference between humanitarian intervention and wars to protect our economic and political supremacy.

I'm not backing isolationism. I'm not even saying that we should only use our military when attacked. However, supporting a war to 'protect our oil' is really beyond the pale.

I'd like to see the things you mentioned (such as the crisis in the Congo) included as a reason to go to war. But you don't see hardly any American polticians, even the Democrats, saying word one about it.

We would all do ourselves a favor to ask why, and set about finding out.
