In a civilized society, should anyone or any government ever force anyone to do anything against his or her will as long as that person does not infringe upon the life, liberty, or property of another?

U.S. foreign policy and Georgia

The U.S. Constitution does not authorize, or even mention, all of the interventions, foreign entanglements, installations of heads of state, etc., that our government is involved in on a daily basis. We are beginning to reap what we have sown: most people around the globe don't care much for us. Why should they? We stick our noses in almost everyone's business, which is reckless and expensive.

Here's a nice, short article by Sheldon Richman that appeared on antiwar.com today. Kind of sums up our foolish foreign policy. By the way, if you get your news from the mainstream media, you're probably extremely misinformed.
