In my growing cynicism of our policies and motives I’ve been wondering the same thing.

When we were the unmatched economic and manufacturing powerhouse of the world of the 50s and 60s and Europe and Japan were indebted to us, it made more sense to expend that wealth stabilizing the world. Yes we still have unmatched military power but not the economic power or financial wherewithal to back it up. The USA needs to focus inward by actually rebuilding our nation’s real economic power.. It won’t come by waging trillion dollar wars in the Middle East.....unless they are fought to defend our borders.

As a suggestions more conservatives need to read “The American Conservative” instead of simply following political elites and pundits that are sometimes of the same group think as a swarm of blackbirds preparing to alight on a power line

Thanks for the response. I really don’t understand how we ended up negotiating the Middle East’s and Europe’s problems.
Not saying that they won’t become our problems, but we should NOT be in charge yet.
