Why would anyone want to go to Boise though?
I don't think there's any immediate threat to our frozen food aisles, but killing crazy people that hate us elsewhere is better than risking having to fight them here no matter how remote the threat to our commercial meccas (pun intended) is.
I can agree with you on the Africa thing though, we should have had troops in the Sudan years ago.
Actually we should have fully supported the ones we did have in Africa in '93 too. Since that fiasco (on a political level) the military has been understandably gunshy about getting involved in Africa only to have interest and support dissapear almost as soon as their boots hit the ground.
Oh and I think Condi would make a decent President too.
