Stepping back from the immediate emergency, the current ebola outbreak seems to be part of a pattern where US foreign policy, in pursuit of some allegedly humanitarian goal – stopping the Hutus from massacring Tutsis, stopping Qaddafi from massacring rival tribes in Bengazi, stopping Assad from massacring Sunnis – leads to horrible “unforeseen consequences” down the line: Islamist slave markets in “liberated” Libya, ISIS murdering and enslaving Yezidis, and now ebola in the Congo. Perhaps one day, instead of having to make enormous efforts to repair the consequences of our misguided policies, we can stop enacting those policies in the first place.
