No matter who is getting slaughtered outside the US, libers will not want us to send any kind of aide.
I find that to be cold. I don't understand how anyone, with any morals, can turn their backs on children in the crossfire b/c the most powerful and greatest nation ever will have to spend money.
That's because you believe in half truths. Libertarians don't believe in not sending aid. They believe private charities are more effective and less corrupt. When government cuts a check, they are much less accountable for how that money gets spent. Nine out of ten dollars typically goes to some fat cat's wallet.
Im not talking about sending food and mosquito nets.
I'm talking about stopping children from being killed on conflicts.
every liber has said; "What's that country have to do with us?" when I said we need to go in and do something.
That's an ice cold look on actual life.
And how many children die directly from our intervention, and then indirectly from the chaos that ensues as a result of our intervention? Then these children are always chalked up to "collateral damage."
