Kony

Kisumu Sunset HotelOver at LewRockwell.com not too long ago, Messrs. Daniel McAdams and Allan Stevo deplored the prospect of American military intervention in Uganda.

This weblog is of course opposed to the Wilsonian World Order and thus to those United States running around the world as an “almighty” policeman, creating intended and unintended bad consequences.

I of course also know that things have not always been very peaceful in this corner of the world.

That being said, East Africa is a bit more personal. I have fond childhood memories of the east bank of Lake Victoria. I certainly would not appreciate the consequences on the west bank of an American military intervention in Uganda.

What? You mean don't want to put a jackboot on the neck of homophobia there? Imperialism for the sake of economic development is surely the worst thing in the world. But a military interverntion to root out unprogressive but pervasive cultural feelings? Well that's just God's work.

There are all sorts of bad intended and unintended consequences of military interventions, sir.

They are not welcome.

I intended my comments to be ironic. I guess I didn't overplay my mock progressive bona fides strongly enough!

Yes, such an intervention would be among the stupidest of a long list of very stupid American led or sponsored interventions.

I guess, sir, I have gotten used to so many strange comments (not only at this blog), that I didn't consider that.

Have a nice day! :-)
