"american interests" are being rigidly defined as "their government worships us, they let us exploit their markets"
how more subtle interests aren't being noticed flies in the face of the complexity that is global politics.

IF anything an accurate title would be 'Obama pioneers U.S interventionism by way of flying Cylon' more than it is anything about draw-down or silliness like that.

that's what we have now, are you out of your mind? do you think we invaded iraq for altruistic reasons? do you think we routinely cause unrest and revolution in central america for their benefit?
NO
every single action we take is for OUR benefit. what you don't seem to understand is that you, an average citizen, is not always aware of what that benefit is or affected by it.

why must it benefit the people, necessarily? what if it just benefits the CIA to further it's own intelligence goals?
