The Islamist threat is real. I believe it also provides us a unique opportunity to reinvigorate our foreign policy with a moral center we have lacked for some years. What do you think?
Has our post Cold War betrayal of the former subjects peoples of the Soviets so embittered you that you can no longer tolerate any activist US foreign policy?
I can see no reason for an "activist" foreign policy unless it is directly in our national security interests to do so. I support the seeking out and inflicting maximum pain on those who perpetrated violence on the US because it is clearly in our national interest to do so. If we take it too far, however, which is a serious threat, we will end up worse off. And with more dead. What is the point of an "activist" foreign policy when there is no direct threat to the US? I am seriously curious. Is it up to the taxpayer to clear the world for American business interests? That has been tried before and it is called facsism. Is that the road you think we should go down? I don't agree. The government has no business in business.
