We're not the worlds policeman. While the destabilization of, for example,
Liberia, may be quite saddening to watch, it's not going to have a long term
large impact on us. There is nothing that Liberia has that is a vital interest
to us.
The destabilization of, for example, Japan, on the other hand, would have an
impact on us.
But even an "impact" may or may not be a "threat to security".
Please explain why, if we stand off and let Liberia disintegrate, it is a
"threat to US National Security". Be specific. Remember, you're the asserter,
burden of proof is on you.
