Entry: A Theory of the Interventionist Class Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/a_theory_of_the_interventionist_class#25417 Post contents: Red, I followed your advice and re-read Mr. Bramwell's article. This part caught my eye: "Unlike in the past, most nations today can be reasonably confident that their neighbors are not seriously interested in invading them. For these reasons, most nations’ security risks are trivial at best." Does this apply to the Middle East? And if a nation like Saudi Arabia does not have to fear an invasion from Iraq or even Iran, isn’t this confidence the direct result of the likelihood of an intervening American military?
