And it's not just right wing neo-cons and right wing militarists who have a hard time getting that message. I see a good many center-left corporate neo-libs and overly idealistic, altruistic liberals persistently calling for American meddling in every hot spot around. The means and the methods may differ, but meddling is still meddling, and it always has unwelcome unintended consequences.

BTW, here is the obligatory statement about me not being an isolationist: Bla, bla, bla. There. Said.
