Easy.......just which set of Boots do you want to wind up "King of the Mountain" in this thing?
I don't particularly want either of them to win. I wasn't advocating intervention in this case - I agree with the Kaletsky blog I posted earlier. Rather, I was pointing out that in cases where intervention
is warranted, there are combat-proven options that don't involve
our boots on the ground (at least, not in any politically-significant quantity). Just that the Marines and Army don't like to talk about them!
