and it is completely impossible to do all this government and military intervention and also lower taxes and have an economic recovery. We are simply draining our resources.

I dont know... I'd just rather other countries deal with their own problems and we can deal with our own problems.

It would be nice if our country could deal only with our problems. But that is not the reality which is the lesson that WWII taught us. Right now, the Iranian's are aggresively pursuing a nuclear bomb with the ambition to impose their view that Allah is god of everyone and anyone who does not follow that view is an infidel.

If we put our head in the sand and do not pay attention to what is happening in the middle east and Iran obtains a nuclear bomb, we are likely to get involved in a war that will be far costlier both monetarily and in human lives than trying to deal with these issues today. We need a strong leader who will set a clear policy, not a weak leader who is willing to sit on the sidelines and shift these problems to the U.N., which is what we have right now.
