Don't read for comprehension, do you?  We're already involved, and have
been, for decades.  You should also note that Chomsky stated his belief
that we should drop our support for this regime.  It's just another 
example of "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" line of thinking(?)
in US policy that goes back much further than Clinton.

I don't like the idea of sending troops, but we did encourage the
current regime with the way we've done business with them.
