Well, the Middle East was on fire way before GWB or we wouldnt have lost 3000 countrymen on 911. The Bush invasion of Iraq was necessary, brilliant and gave us the infrastructure we desperately needed in the ME. The liberal day in and day out destruction of Bush, caused failure. Sorry, but I can’t stay silent when I hear “Bush’s invasion of Iraq” it is garbage because they invaded us first, actually long before 911. Tell me the difference between an Iraqi, an Iranian, a Syrian, an Afghani? There isn’t any difference they are all Middle Easterns with the same hatred towards America.

I thought dangerous and incoherent was the new standard - after all that’s exactly what we’ve been subjected to for the last eight years.

There are unmistakable isolationist tendencies in a Trump doctrine, along with nationalism and protectionism. While he pledged to have a bipartisan foreign policy, his vision conflicts with a political consensus in support of alliances such as NATO.

Same old shibboleths and fear tactics globalists have been throwing around since the 1950s or before.

The main 'accomplishments' of the globalist policies followed by administrations of both parties have been the deindustrialization of much of the US through one-sided trade deals that could have had no result but to move much US industry to cheap labor nations, and the predictable reduction of job opportunities and living standards for many Americans.

Time for different policies.

No invasion of Iraq was utterly pointless. What to invade Iraq to bring “democracy”? muslims cannot handle democracy.

We saw what happened in Egypt when they got democracy, they voted in the muslim brotherhood, what did democracy do in Palestine? They voted in hamas

Its better that muslim nations are under a strongman dictator like Gaddafi,Saddam or Assad because if they get to vote they always pick somebody worse

And if you wanted to go after the ones responsible for 911 we should have invaded Saudi Arabia,

“Trump questions international alliances that have kept America safe...”

Hey, Sacramento Bee, exactly how have these alliances kept us safe? Be specific.

I can give lots of instances where other countries’ alliances with us have kept them safe, but I can’t come up with instances where our many, many alliances have kept us safe. Mostly we give and give and give, while others take and take and take.
