I wasn't clear but was implying pre WWII.
And it's not clear to me that they are even being helped and, even if they are, there is quite probably other peoples of the world who could use our help even more.
I was all for Iraq and would defend it today, but I'm not all that sure about Libya,
OK Grant. That does change my impression quite a bit. I would agree to some extent about Ger and Jap.
There are good reasons to intervene in some nations affairs and not in others. I guess those standards change somewhat with each administration.
For me two of the major standards for intervention would be are the people willing to fight themselves and what will it look like when the dust settles.
Hopefully in Egypt, Tunisia, and Liyba the outcome will be free and peaceful nations who reject jihadis.
