Unless we’re going to start approaching any foreign problem with the question “How will getting involved benefit us?”, yes. I’m sick and tired of the US wasting values for no values in return.
Calvin Coolidge was non interventionist when it came to American lives as well.
We need to fix our problems here. Sending our troops to fight Muslim wars is over. Send troops to our borders.
Yes, we need to stop being the Saudis’ errand boys.

Since the late 1800’s, the US has invested its treasure and the lives of its citizens around the world, to little avail and to widespread condemnation.
It’s past time to disengage.
It's way past time the US took a "time out". Haven't we done enough already?
No one is talking about sending troops. In some cases their is no good side to support.
Disengaging from world politics involves a lot more than troops. Rand Paul has made a fool of himself on this issue. He thought that total withdrawal would win a lot of young voters whose ant-war tendencies are driven more by self-interest than moral certitude, but current events caused that position to backfire on him.
That was used as a bogus reason to rearrange the world map to the liking of the global elite. It's Saudi Arabia that should've been punished. Instead, we're still carrying their water pail.
This isn’t 1814.
It'll be like 1014 (or so) if globally countries don't stabilize their borders and become self-sufficient.
Perhaps Ron Paul can tell us what nations in the Middle East we were engaged in on 09/11.
You’re right of course.
How many al Qaeda and Taliban will no longer be coming to our shores because we eliminated them on their own soil?
09/11 took place on our soil. All the fighting since took place somewhere else. And yet..., some folks can’t grasp which is better.
Oh it cost us too much. How much did 09/11 cost us? How much is welfare costing us?
We’ve got some pretty F’d up priorities even here...
that’s what I like about ol’ Calvin - but he was described as a “do nothing” POTUS - what I wouldn’t give for someone like that.
As long as it doesn’t affect their social security checks,food stamps,free phones,they couldn’t care less
Yes.
Nuke the moose-limbs from orbit and begin carpet bombing again in Afghanistan. Rinse & repeat.
Spec/Op troops in-and-out on limited missions to destroy things and kill people, and send regular Army troops to our own border. Garrison them there until the border is secure. Shoot to kill Los Zetas narco-terrorists; disarm `lost’ trespassing Mexican troops, spank them and boot them back south. Deport the illegals.
Impeach Obama.
Make some sense out of our acid-trip budget and spending. Did I say, `Impeach Obama’? Start making things here again.
We’ve got a full domestic plate without worrying about our generals getting shot by our `allies’.
