Question
Pick out the premises and conclusion for the following argument:
We should stop interfering in other countries' affairs. This follows from the fact that we have no moral right to change a country's way of governing itself. Also, interfering often gets us locked into combat; not to mention that the potential for loss of lives on both sides is high. In addition, the cost of waging wars is astronomical. Any engagement means weakening our already shaky economy. Add the fact that interfering makes us have more enemies around the world who feel threatened by us.
1- We should stop interfering in other countries' affairs. (Premise or Conclusion)
2- We have no moral right to change a country's way of governing itself. (Premise or conclusion)
3- Interfering often gets us locked into combat. (Premise or conclusion)

5- The potential for loss of lives on both sides is high. (Premise or conclusion)
