liberationist interventionism

good stuff. so what criteria do you use when deciding which places to invade, and how many innocent people are allowed to be killed before it stops? should "we" go into North Korea? Venezuela? Russia? England? America?

one problem with waging war is that it invariably increases the power of the state. does war ever serve any other function (aside from untold misery)?

what should policy towards Iran consist of? maybe leaving them well alone, for a start. the insane evil foreigner label is usually mistaken, but still, the possibility exists that a particular state will kill millions of people. forgive me if the previous century doesnt contain enough examples of this. all we can do is give any enemy as little reason to be evil as possible. i dont see that pretending to own the world is the best strategy for peace.

thanks.
