The reason we police the world was stated very well by a true American
hero, Major General Smedley Butler. He won the medal of honor in two
separate wars, and the Brevet medal in the Marines. His take was that
the wealthy in America know that they can make more money abroad than
at home, and the soldiers go to protect those investments. That is
always why we go to war, not Mom, Apple Pie, WMDs or Democracy. Cold
hard cash.

Now you're just spoiling usenet by speaking truth.
