Krauthammer’s Take: Getting Into War for Humanitarian Reasons a Bad Idea

It’s a mistake to enter into any war for humanitarian reasons, Charles Krauthammer said Thursday night.

“The ultimate calculation has to be the national interests of the United States,” Krauthammer said on Special Report. “Otherwise we would be at war right now in the Congo and in half of West Africa and in places a lot of Americans haven’t even heard about.”

Krauthammer went on to say that the United States must determine its own national interests in the Syrian civil war as well as which side it wants to prevail.
