Entry: A Theory of the Interventionist Class Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/a_theory_of_the_interventionist_class#25258 Post contents: Red, You mean am I advocating the use of brutality in Iraq and Afghanistan? Maybe, maybe not. My true concern is that we are losing our will to preserve and advance our self-interest through the use of violence. What I am therefore advocating is a realignment of our priorities. We must begin to look at things from the perspective of what is good for the US is good for the world instead of what is good for the world is good for the US. We have lost belief in our superior value and quality and have subsequently lost our will to win wars. Iraq and Afghanistan are two excellent examples of our deteriorating will to win wars. Perhaps we should not even be in these places as many paleoconservatives seem to argue. But I ask you this, if we cannot win in Iraq and Afghanistan against desert rabble, where can we win?
