People here think deposing Bashar Assad will lead to ISIS or the other Islamist rebels will take total control of Syria? No, that’s probably not going to happen. The Syrian government apparatus is run by the Ba’ath party where someone in the party likely will succeed al-Assad.

Yes, and many think United States would be GREAT AGAIN by crawling into a shell, and ignoring the world. These people obviously lack knowledge of history.

Two things go hand in hand....
1. Improve US prosperity. That can not be done without manufacturing playing the leading role. And that also requires fair trade.

2. Keep order in the world, so that world commerce can avoid disorder and disruption. That requires strong military.

And likely to be just as brutal (Hint: They will have to be). We've seen this movie before. Just different actors.
