i think it's time we concentrate on american interests inside our border rather than vague threats oversees. quite frankly, other than our military and foreign service employees, i don't think it's our job to protect many of our very ungrateful allies. numerous plots have been foiled in europe and the gulf, let those countries fend for themselves. i'm worried about our contiguous 48 plus alaska and hawaii.

I understand your position completely, however remember many of those who would attack us the very same who might attack them. And don't forget that terrorists are using places overseas as staging areas and bases from which they intend to attack us.
