Gene Healy writes here about the escalation of American military involvement in various parts of Africa.

It is just this sort of “promiscuous war-making” (in Healy’s phrase) that has led to so much grief over the last several decades. Our treasury is broke and we borrow 40 cents for every dollar we spend, but still our Dear Leader can’t say “no” to more military escapades. The leftist media looks the other way.
