No. They understand sworn enemies reside both within and without and are resolved to deal with them. Would not be surprised if they count ignorance as one of them, yours notwithstanding. It might do you some good to realize how dedicated and determined the proponents of a smaller world foot print on the part of the United States are when it comes to defending your right to be a lemming.

That said, I am ignorant, too. I do not know precisely what threat level we might face if we, say, take our troops out of 200 places out of the 700 they are now. But apparently you do. Please educate me on this. You might be surprised how teachable I am. But I do expect facts from reliable sources. Thanks.
