And before you answer with the “isolationist vs interventionist” mime, I know about that. I see from many post over several weeks that Paul Supporters want to bring home our troops from most of the places they serve right now. Those troops act as a bulwark against our enemies away from our shores. They also help to defend and protect our friends and allies who in turn provide us with information and support. Pulling out in a world with planes, missiles and weapons that almost reach "slaughter" potential (or not) is blatantly reckless.
That depends on how you define "slaughter"; the rational view or the True Believers view? :)
