It is hard to exaggerate the misery and chaos created by so-called "liberal interventionism". It is hard to think of a more immoral foreign policy, roaming the (chiefly Muslim) world, killing people and sowing anarchy.

Libya makes Sharia law basis for law and state institutions: Tripoli

The Libyan National Assembly voted to make Sharia Law the basis of all legislative decisions and the legal framework of the country. The move is seen by some as an attempt to outflank more radical Islamic groups some of whom have called some members of the Assembly un-Islamic.

McCain and Graham, who never saw an opportunity for U.S. military intervention they didn t like, continue to operate under the absurd illusion that American politicians and bureaucrats can micromanage something as complex as a foreign society. Their hubris knows no bounds, but, then, they never pay the price for their foolishness. Who pays? The Americans they cheer off to war, but even more so, the people in foreign lands who are on the receiving end of American intervention...
