The Green Lantern Theory of Geopolitics

From TPMCafe:

". . . a lot of people seem to think that American military might is like one of these power rings. They seem to think that, roughly speaking, we can accomplish absolutely anything in the world through the application of sufficient military force. The only thing limiting us is a lack of willpower."

I can't believe I've sunk so low in my blogging career, that a GL analogy does a better job of summing up my point than my five paragraph thesis.

I am glad the "doesn't work against yellow" thing is in the past. I've always felt that GL's biggest enemy was the Gorton's Fisherman.
