So I read in the paper this morning that the U.S. military is concerned about the potential shortage of $1.2M air launched cruise missiles. While we're blowing $50M/night on an overdone fireworks show has any thought been given to foreign aid for Albania, where private citizens are paying out of their own pockets for space for refugees? It's not that I think the air strikes are a bad thing, although it would be have been nice if we'd intervened in some non-white European genoiceds sometimes too, but if we're going to step into this struggle at some point we have to understand that this is about people, not politicians.
