I doubt that many in the Tea Party agree that we should ignore the obvious threat that Islam represents and has always represented. It that is what the “party” believes in then it is no solution at all.
Nor do I believe that it agrees with the Leftist view of our foreign policy.
I agree with you on that. One thing I do know is that foreigners are scared to death of the Tea Party. Perhaps they fear their aid will be cut off.
One other thing I know is that we can't buy friends, and shouldn't be in the business of trying to buy friends. Since all the evidence suggests it doesn't work.
We supported OBL until he turned on us. We supported Saddam until he turned on us. We supported Hamas to counter Arafat. Then they got elected. We supported the Mubarak regime until his demise.
I'm thinking we need to re-consider our foreign policy.
