I am, of course, being flippant.

I'm mostly referring to the fickle nature of American Public opinion, which needs a good deal of raa-raa football pep rally style preperation to endure even a single brutal and ugly death of one of our own while casually tolerating the suffering of the vast majority of the rest of the planet.

In my opinion, the darker the sufferers, and the fewer their natural resources, the less likely the pep rally preperation.

As anyone who reads my posts knows, I'm not if favor of picking sides and armed intervention without a good deal of care and certainty. I'm just appaulled that anyone buys into the "Moral Clarity" of the war we are involved in when we turn a blind eye to brutallity all over the world when there's little at stake except morals.
