Victory does not retroactively justify either NATO's or the United States' decision to intervene. We should not be basking in the afterglow of this dubious military enterprise. Before you assume this last question is facetious you should review U.S. military history during the last six and a half years and specifically the last two and a half months. Isolationism is certainly not the prudent or proper course for America. But neither is knee-jerk globalism.
World history is strewn with the carcasses of great empires that recklessly overextended themselves.
