> Iowa City, IA, Tuesday, March 29, 2011. Beneath the often vituperative intra-left debate over whether or not to support any aspect of the Obama administration’s intervention in Libya and what the consequences of that intervention will be, lay a fundamental question: why did Obama go to cruise missile war? What did the White House hope to achieve? What’s it all about?
I don't necessarily agree with a lot of what Street has to say, especially the stupidity of radical responses, but the questions are in no way fundamental. They are useless and meaningless. Who cares why states do what they do? Trying to figure it out leads to nothing but psychology.
