"Hence the policy of leftists in the U.S. has to be a kneejerk opposition to all U.S. moves outside its own borders." Pope Carrol. E-mail, 17 December, 2001.
It doesn't has to be anything. If a government can't be a moral agent outside its borders, you would think it couldn't be a moral agent within its borders either. This leads to a cynical, pessimistic anarchism and a dead end for the left.
i.e., you can't argue for universal health care because of the war on drugs.
