The Kissenger Limited War Doctrine

i was really impresed with a spanish american war. What i've read about it is that the Americans basically liberated cuba, for better or worse. I think there's an argument to be made that you you identify when someone has larger aspirations and intervene at a point where they realize we're not going to get away with this. And then you need to explain why something is so significant that united states men and women need to bleed for it. That's my starting point.
