Lest they forget the reasons for not doing so, for which he and they were passionate and relentless advocates these last several years:
- No war for natural resource (oil = Sudan or minerals = Congo)
- The US should not be imperialist
- You cannot do nation building
- No American lives should be lost to help other countries
- American funds should not be spent on wars abroad when needed here for social programs
- It would be a distraction from Afghanistan, the main problem
- The military is stretched too thin
- They are sovereign countries, however screwed up, and we have no right to do anything to them/ intrude in their affairs
- We need to support the troops by bringing them home
- We don't understand their culture and should not assume we know what they want
- You can't want to send troops into dangerous situations unless you are a soldier or your child is one
- Vietnam
- Somalia
- Sanctions, no fly zones, and a massive bribery/ kick-back scheme are a fine solution
I probably missed a few, but oh well. Maybe now he's a neocon warmonger. Cindy Sheehan better get ready to roll.

Maybe he'll change his tune if an actual foreign policy objective in the interest of the American taxpayer is found.
