It's sad that this has to be said in a 4T forum. Isn't that very issue that brought us here in the first place?
Much more typically this culture supports American military (intervention) on a "humanitarian" basis.
I am an old anti-war protester going way back, but I am becoming more sympathetic to such involvements, at least without bombing (probably) or troops on the ground by the USA. The great war of our time is not against an alliance of invading fascists or monarchs, but the people rising up for freedom against an alliance of local tyrants all over the world. For example, if the people of Burma ask us for help in overthrowing their Myanmar tyrants, we should answer them and give them what they ask for. I'm afraid local people power alone is usually no match for armies, unless there are strong defections from them to the people. Right now the people everywhere just want to be free, and they aren't getting this.
Yes, of course. You are sympathetic to petit-bourgeois conceptions of freedom.
And social-democratic ones, which you are also not sympathetic to.
