1. President Obama's speech on Monday night was thoughtful and compelling. I understand his decision to intercede in Libya, and I appreciate his determination to protect others from genocide.
2. I don't understand, though, where the money comes from to fund warfare in America. It's like a giant keg at a frat party--simply turn on the spigot and let the gold flow. Troop escalations, no-fly zones, pre-emptive wars--the money is always there.
3. But when it comes to domestic needs, we're broke. Our Congress is now arguing over which vulnerable group to stiff next, and we don't have money to feed our hungry or educate our children.
4. Are we the world's self-sacrificing protector?
5. Or are we simply in love with war?
