While genocide in unconscionable I'm not sure Rwanda holds any strategic
value to the US. It is interesting to note that none of their African
neighbors rushed in to help.

Wish he'd finish his own wars before he tries to finish his dad's.....

Actually, to get back on topic, I think he has a swell idea in building new
refineries (and nuclear power plants) on the military bases that are
scheduled in the near future for closing. That hopefully will help to bring
prices down, since a lot of the recent gas price increases are blamed on our
current refining capacity.

Though closing military bases during a war might be a questionable
concept....

That's what we say. But if you listen carefully to what our enemies are
saying, "There are no non-combatants". I don't agree entirely with Mr. Ward
Churchill, but I can see where a "---------" might.
http://www.politicalgateway.com/news/read.html?id=2739 What of Mr.
Churchill's claim that "a CIA office was situated in the World Trade
Center"?

It is a strange kind of war, where one side sets all the rules and seems to
have the power, not only to win, but to exterminate all our opponents if we
they follow our rules. What's in it for them, if they do that? By your
reasoning, a commercial airliner is not a legitimate target either, but one
can't argue with its effectiveness as a weapon.

Churchill's claim that "a CIA office was situated in the World Trade
Center"?

It is a strange kind of war, where one side sets all the rules and seems to
have the power, not only to win, but to exterminate all our opponents if we
they follow our rules. What's in it for them, if they do that? By your
reasoning, a commercial airliner is not a legitimate target either, but one
can't argue with its effectiveness as a weapon.

The justification for widely dispersed bases was to make it harder for the
Soviets to cause significant damage. Dispersed bases are more costly to run
rather than consolidated ones.

That is the rationale, I don't know that the soviets aren't still a threat
as their WMDs cannot be accounted for.

I don't want the US to be the world's policeman. That was one of the roles
the UN was supposed to fill. It doesn't work though because it is run by
politicians and bureaucrats. And I understand some countries reluctance, I
would not want to surrender US sovereignty to.... say... Italian leadership.
