THIS STANCE SHOULD BE THE DEFAULT

David Ignatius spoke with some House members and they are aware that Americans are sick of military intervention:

America the War-Weary

"I can't adequately describe how unwilling the American people are to get involved in another war in the Middle East," said one congressman. "We're almost unable to respond," given what the U.S. has spent in Iraq and Afghanistan, said another. He described intervention proposals as "half-baked," and argued that "the last thing we need is something ineffective." A third member summed up the public mood this way: "We are not just war-weary, we are war-wary."

We should ALWAYS be "war-wary."
