And Now for Obama's Ugandan Military Adventure | Gene Healy | Cato Institute: Commentary

And Now for Obama's Ugandan Military Adventure | Gene Healy | Cato Institute: Commentary: 'The Obama team has embraced the U.N. doctrine known as "Responsibility to Protect," which holds that the "international community" has an obligation to protect civilians from crimes against humanity — by force, if necessary — when their own governments cannot or will not.

That doctrine is at odds with the U.S. Constitution, which empowers Congress to set up a military establishment for the singular end of "the common defence ... of the United States."'
