Your analysis is 100% correct but while we try to heal the nation and go back to the basic values that made America great, we have external threats only growing due to our perceived weakness - we can't ignore them.

In addition, all of those freepers who think we can just ignore these threats because it is not in our interest right now should know that we ignored international threats for years until they came knocking on our door (9/11). If we shirk from showing some kind of determination, we will most definitely get another attack on our soil once again, it is for sure.

I don't want a war either but neither can I turn a blind eye to Iran. She has her cross hairs on us, Israel and the West and when (if) she gets the bomb we will be blackmailed seriously, all over the planet. So you will be paying 20 bucks for a gallon at that point...

Well said. From the news over the past decade or so, Iran's nuclear weapons efforts are much more ambitious than most people know. Following launches by Iran, then it's commie friend nations, fuel would go much higher and be much more difficult to obtain than that.
