I just bought Ron Paul's new book and am reading how he has spoken against every instance of foreign intervention since 1976. One thing that is eye-opening about the book is HOW MUCH we are involved in every little conflict around the world.

Does anyone have a comprehensive list of all the Foreign Interventions the US has taken part in since WWII? I think this would be pretty revealing to people on how much the US really does around the world and maybe get people to question whether it is worth it.

Here's what I've got so far from his book (from memory)

Iran
Falkan Islands (Argentina vs Britain)
Israel vs PLO
Lebanon
Grenada
Serbia
Somalia
Kuwait
Iraq
Pakistan

It would be cool to see each country, the years involved, and how much money and lives were spent on that cause. Anyone have a good all-encomassing source or have something made up like this?
