[Vision2020] How's this for a "Christian" ethic?

[Tom Hansen]

Sunil -

You fail to comprehend my simple suggestion.

Yes.  I also agree that certain entanglements (i.e. civil wars) should be avoided by the U.S..

Does this mean that we should turn our backs on EVERYBODY as Mr. Wilson's comment clearly states?

I think not!

THAT simply would not be Christian.

But first you must learn how to smile as you kill 
If you want to be like the folks on the hill."

I think when the US military is used by the government, it's acting on behalf of US interests, as defined by those in charge or with the best access to government. They just dress it up as something palatable so that the actions will be publicly supported.
