And what are the chances for either of those? I'll just be glad if we can keep our interventionism to a relative minimum (e.g. no invasions, and if we're going to bomb someone then please don't let it be just us led by a cowboy president). Our foreign policy is too unfocused and short-term oriented to hope for anything better atm, so saying "we need to do something" is tantamount to utopianism in the current climate.
