Neocons want war. What the frug is America doing? Where does it say in the Constitution that the American military shall be used to fight in foreign wars for humanitarian causes?

The Constitution requires a declaration of war by Congress. I must not have gotten my newspaper the day they declared war on Venezuala

Is the Monroe Doctrine still the policy of the land?

I understand that China and Russia is there for the oil. Is that a big deal for us? But do we really want Russian or Chinese Naval facilities on our Southern Flank?

None of these are easy decisions. But either we defend the Hemisphere, or we do not.

Its a matter of making our policy clear. Cuban troops are one thing—they are intra-hemisphere. Russian and Chinese troops are not.
