What this country needs is to retreat, to pull back on all our self-established commitments. Declare that we’ve won in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Korea, Japan, The Phillipines, and all the other places where we occupy land that isn’t our country. Tear down the fences and let whoever owns the land have it back. We need to let other countries and organizational units take over being the world police force. It’s time that China and the European Union take a whack at protecting the world. We need to concentrate on our own house first. We need to get out of debt, we need to stop being the John Wayne of Earth and realize that some things aren’t winnable, like a land-war in Afghanistan. Life could be so much more pleasant if we concentrated our efforts on our own continent instead of being spread along all the others.
