Troops to the Congo

There's not much to add to Michael Cohen's take down of Michael O'Hanlon's call to send U.S. troops into the Congo, but I'll add my two cents.

The most significant weakness in O'Hanlon's argument is the utter indifference to the question of whether America has any actual interest in the Congo. O'Hanlon spends his time detailing the "how" of such an intervention but not the "why." That, to me, is a fairly striking omission.
