Isolationism is foolish and disastrous but no more or less so than injecting ourselves into wars that don’t have anything to do with us.
In the case of Afghanistan and Iraq, a decade is about 5 years too long and a result of our politically correct warfare methods.
By isolationism I do not mean burying our head in the sand. But the USA became the world’s superpower by always being the last nation to enter general war, not the first.
Saddam and Osama would have made the deadliest team. In fact, I'd say Iraq was the bigger danger.
Now the danger has shifted with Pakistan entrenched with Osama's leaders. Will they just vanish or are they being encouraged by Obama's "Let's withdraw".
We all here 1776 this day but it wasn't until 1789 until we had a President. And the British were still in NY until 1797. And more was to come with the war of 1812.
So take a deep breath na think about if we want to go back in 10 years...or finish the job!!
