As to Ukraine, I realize many on the right (where I am) are opposed to our efforts there. I have not had any argument yet persuade me that Putin must not be stopped. If he gains control of the south of Ukraine, and therefore the ports on the Black Sea, all bets are off and the global ramifications will be devastating. As far as the internal animosities between left and right? Well, the left has pushed, and pushed, and pushed the envelope so far for thirty years or more that it has felt like war. A war of attrition. At some point we had to push back. And now the right is the bad guy. No matter which Republican is running for office, even milquetoast Romney, the left labels them a fascist.

You must be kidding. Right? Disregard for international law, killings of heads of states, "interventions" that got millions killed etc.etc are signature of US foreign policy. Did you also think that the US must be stopped when it invaded Iraq for no reason whatsoever with fake info coming straight from our top leaders? How about bombing Lybia and killing their leader? Did you see what was left of Serbian civilian infrastructure when our air power got done with it? Sure you and others like you were (in your case easily) brainwashed into believing that we are doing that for the cas eod democracy. What a joke! How abour bombing Riad where women ar enot allowed to drive and are slaves of their husbands. The "priciples" of US foreign policy is we can spin anything and bomb anybody. Putin is just trying to imitate what US has been doing for ever: bring a friendly regime to power or correct borders that your friends Soviet leaders have drawn with absolute disregard for wish of the people. Try dry cleaning. Your brain needs it badly!
