BRJ is on to something. If we were at all concerned with true nation building, we'd look into Sudan. It's got everything going for it and us in the way of making the U.S. look like superheroes.
1) The country is poor and starving.
2) It's being raped by Islamic fundamentalists.
3) To my knowledge it has no oil, though I could be wrong.
If we were to save a country like that, the world would love us.
This just shows, one needs to be prudent when selecting their crusades.

Seriously, since when are we "Nation Builders”? Why can't we concentrate on our own for a while and do something to curb the damage to our job market the evolution of our economy is having.
We should be concentrating on the home front and supporting the UN since we are to blame the most for its ineffectual existence. If we, the most powerful nation in the world ignore the UN (among other things we've started ignoring since GWB took office) who are we to cast stones if some other country like N. Korea ignores them as well?
