Obama supporters: Did he answer his own question about intervention asked in his book?

In his pre-presidential book "The Audacity of Hope," Obama said the U.S. will lack international legitimacy if it intervenes militarily "without a well-articulated strategy that the public supports and the world understands."

He questioned: "Why invade Iraq and not North Korea or Burma? Why intervene in Bosnia and not Darfur?"

    OMG...dont tell me you choked your way through Obama's book! It's unfortunate, but the whitehouse ideology for some time now has been 'do as we say not as we do.'

    James: Yes we can live our lives by even less than a book. It's called the US Constitution!

    Different situations call for different solutions. No one ever really wants war; to be violent; to have bloodshed; but a strong leader takes action when necessary, and it's not always possible to do it by that or any other book. Do you live your life by any book?
