But this is only the first step. Now we need to actually do something about it, which is going to take troops. As much as I’d be in favor of that happening, I don’t know that I’d want to be one of them. (I hate that hypocritical feeling. :-( )
And speaking of troops, most of ours seem to be occupied at the moment in Iraq and Afghanistan. That leaves very little capacity to deal with something the whole world agrees is a humanitarian crisis on a massive scale.
I’m no economist, but I know an example of opportunity cost when I see it.
