Get them out

It's hard to not look at what is going on in Lebanon and shake your head with disgust. The cycle of violence and revenge continues in the Middle East, and American troops occupy a country right next door.

What should we do about it? Christopher Preble of the Cato Institute (quickly becoming my driver's manual when it comes to libertarianism) hits the nail on the head:

"While there is more than enough blame to go around, the U.S. government should be focused right now on providing safe passage out of the war zone for all Americans who wish to leave. Beyond these immediate concerns, American policymakers should avoid further entangling the United States in the conflict."

Time will tell how this plays out.
