Obama: The Military As Social Workers

Think Obama will end "adventures in intervention," as some have called the Bush Administration's policy? Think again.

From David Weigel:
Obama believes all of what he said six years ago in Chicago. He has called for, or retroactively endorsed, interventions in Zimbabwe, Pakistan, and Sudan. He has advocated a humanitarian-based foreign policy for his entire public career. Since coming to the U.S. Senate in 2005, he has built up a brain trust of academics and ex-Clintonites who, like him, challenge the logic of the Iraq war but not the logic of wars like Iraq.

So, he just doesn't like Iraq, but he will give us more....Somalias?
