”We never heard George Washington say during his Presidency that we should go to the middle east.” That Jefferson guy wouldn’t listen. First chance he got he built a navy and sent it to Tripoli.

Protecting U.S. shipping interests on the high seas is a perfectly legitimate constitutional function of the Federal government.
Taking sides in someone else’s conflict is not.

Yes, he did. He shouldn’t have. If the middle east didn’t value our trade why sould we protect anyone going there if they wouldn’t? This is our country, right here. Anything outside of here is not our responsibility. Some merchant wants to make a buck then they take their chances. US Taxpayers should not be on the hook to play the world’s policeman. We created this country to keep people safe here in this country, not the globe.
