- jjgreen 3y agoThe notion of the United States as a bringer of peace through tiny projects in distant parts of the world will strike many people as unintentionally hilarious. No country has brought more war to more places on the planet in recent years than the United States has. Even if every one of these interventions had been morally sound and, in practice, fantastically successful, we’d still be underwater in terms of lives lost and general all-around misery. No matter how many lives are saved by persuading both sides to take up knitting and together make a machine-gun cozy, that number will be fewer than the number who have died because of military operations or the shortages of medicine and food that go with them. https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2016/09/michael-kinsley-on-us-institute-of-peace https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2016/09/michael-kinsley-on-u...
