The West Wing, Season Six
Leo:
I can't support this decision. For a short period, we may be welcome. But what happens when we have to start kicking in doors? Declare martial law? Enforce curfews --
Bartlet:

Leo:
This isn't a romp in the desert! You're committing American lives to something that may go on for decades!
Bartlet:
[angrily, nearly shouting] How are we not involved now-- [suddenly goes quiet, looking back at the house, then, quieter, shaking his head] We can't keep having this argument.
Leo:
No, sir, we can't. If my counsel is no longer of use to you, perhaps-
Bartlet:
So, if I disagree with your advice, you have to threaten me?
Leo:
This is your own League of Nations, and it will ruin you like it ruined Wilson.
Bartlet:
Okay. I'll need your successor in place before you leave.
