The Icarus Syndrome

I saw today Robert Beinart new book, which title I use for this note. He points out to the inability of the public American debate on the US foreign policy, to think of this country just as any other country. Very few people not from this country, will accept the right to invade another country to solve international problems. Maybe Russian kids during their superpower stage, thought this way.

Beinart invites us to see which objectives are possible, and which ones have to be discarded. It is not possible to fight in Iraq and at the same time in Afghanistan; nevertheless this question is not posed in public in the US.

Do we have enough money to rebuild Detroit and Kabul, at the same time?
