I understand very well Michael C.

The point – which I made poorly because it is well on the periphery of topicality which even I acknowledge – is the issue of philosopher Karl Popper’s *Open Society* on future markets as per the formulation by George Soros who sits on both the Creative Capitalism forum as well as Obama’s advisory committee on international issues.

The Cliff’s Notes version is that corporate profits should be taxed to provide capital for a global poverty and economic development pool. Boiled down to essence. Social engineering.

The one bill that Obama has before Congress is a request for humanitarian aid to fight poverty in Africa.

The intersection is not hard to see.

I acknowledge this is well off topic but any discussion of committing military force, in the failure of other options, raises this issue of the effectiveness.

And that is what I am doing – raising the issue of the effectiveness of our current economic policies in global arena. If you are satisfied, the the logical conclusion is that you support Georgia – and the military force that may be required if and when reality surpasses the rhetoric.
