Afghanistan? Iraq? So what should have been our response to 9/11 or the takeover of Kuwait by Iraq or the bombing of our embassies in East Africa or the attack on the USS Cole? How do we deal with Iran, the world's biggest state sponsor of terrorism and on the verge of becoming a nuclear power? How do we respond to China's expanding military and economic power? Or the rise of militant Islamic fundamentalism?
Specifically, what foreign intrusions are you talking about?
Oh there are just a few futilities that come to mind. What was the purpose of the prolonged nation building commitments in Iraq and Afghanistan and the huge material and human sacrifices that went with it? Ever consider that the attempt to introduce or impose Western values to these places in itself gives rise to “Islamic fundamentalism”? What is the purpose of the United States aiding and abetting political Islamists in in Syria? Can or should the United States attempt to influence evolving Asian affairs far from our shores. Should not the Asians themselves work out a consensus and balance? If wealthy South Korea cannot stand on its own, then more American treasure and sacrifice is not the answer. If nations choose downward spiraling economic socialist or quasi socialist debt producing systems, why should the American worker be expected to provide rescue capital? Finally just where to you recommend sending brave young Americans to die and just how is the security of the United States enhanced?
