NY Times: Does The Crisis In Myanmar Call For Military Intervention?
I can see where the rest of the world looks upon the United States with confusion. But frankly, I am confused by the reaction (or inaction) by other world powers. Myanmar is just another in a long line of country’s that will suffer at the hands of a corrupt government. Kaplan is not naive either, he has been around the block a few times. But does the United States have the moral authority to intervene?
And what about the liberal response? The liberals have spent the last 5 years (hell...try the last 40 years!) condemning our use of the military. Has the liberal position (anti-military) these past few years made the current administration "gun shy?" If it is alright to invade Myanmar, than why not Darfur or Rwanda?
What should the United States response be? Or better yet, what should the military response be from the rest of the world?
