Yes, watching 9/11 from my office window cured me of any historic isolationist tendencies I might have had (though admittedly I really only was against some of Clinton’s meaningless adventures).
Your position will inevitably result in Big Government™ abroad and at home.
I wish I could be enthused about any of the choices at this point but I’m not.
