My two cents would say that most 'rogue nations' are safe from U.S. ground troops. Even if one takes the view that neo-cons and PNAC are blood thirsty people who believe in 'war, war, war' --well, something stands in their way: the price tag. The United States might survive ONE more war like Iraq. The price of TWO more is prohibitive. So, as soon as one more fight is picked (whether that is with Iran, North Korea, Syria, or Cuba), the mere act of picking one means that the others, like Libya, are safe. The U.S. economy is not going to take the next war as well as it took this one.
