Obviously, my response was much more extensive than the selection you quoted. While snipping quoted text is to be encouraged, snipping quoted text as means of misrepresenting the original argument is dirty pool.
I don't see how I can be accused of selective quoting when in the part of my reply which you snipped I specifically agreed that US logistical and humanitarian aid was valuable: "American contributions to support and humanitarian aid are duly noted."
(If I *were* being snarky, I might observe that America is spending as much fighting the war in Iraq each week as it spends in preventing genocide in Sudan in one or two years.)
So what do you consider the most valid approaches to preventing genocide and suppressing terrorism?
