Which is in our better interest?
- Picking a side, fighting a war where American's are mobilized and put in danger, knowing that the side that wins is exceedingly likely to not be in power 25 years from now, and that the losers will have taken over and are bent on hating us.
or
- Maintaining relations with both sides in a war, selling each side whatever they want to buy (except for weapons), and then maintaining those relations with the eventual victor?
Think about how popular we'd be if we sold modern F-series fighter/bombers to both Israel AND Iran. And Libya, and Turkey, and Palestine. Or, sell to both NK and SK. Up until they actually start firing on each other. Then, sell them everything EXCEPT bullets, planes, ships, helos, guns and tanks.

What do you want me to say? I can't reason for you. All I can tell you is that the guiding principle needs to be the security of Americans. Whether or not a military move advances that goal or not needs to be determined through the application of reason.
