I'm sure you care, but is more nation building, especially over there and especially by us, really going to make things better? Haven't we done enough?
Caring is by itself just a feeling, and while I abhor feeling-based leadership, I don't begrudge anyone for sympathizing for those who are suffering. Where did I advocate taking action? Don't confuse the two. I'm as guilty as the next guy who's lucky to live in a relatively peaceful and free society, expresses sorrow for the unfortunate in far away lands but doesn't do anything about it. You can't help everyone, and I don't care enough to give more than I already give. But it's also not in me to say, "Who cares?"
