In part two of a three-part series, Chris Hayes of The Nation debates Reihan Salam of the National Review over the proper role of the US military in the world. Hayes notes that many conservatives don’t trust the government to provide universal healthcare, yet are willing to trust the military to enforce its will on the world. Salam argues that the world depends on American support and intervention. What are the limits of US military power, and do we have a right to police other countries? Watch and decide.

Part One is available here.
