That's one POV. There is another.
That is that we do not belong in wars not of our making, not in our interest, which are attempted with a priority of military action rather than diplomacy.
The fact that this has gone on 50 years means something has to change. Otherwise, we've got essentially, another permanent state in our union, the State of Israel, and they may as well pay taxes. Instead they, like Saudi Arabia, make deals in the back rooms, subverting our political process and treasury.
Were the US to state that we will not be party to blood feuds of various warlords around the world, Israel would quickly find a solution to their relationship with the Arab countries, that didn't involve the American treasury.
Columbian warlords, likewise, are looking to American military and treasury for one-sided help in there 40-year old civil war.
The excuses for this unproductive and destructive interventionist militarization of foreign affairs are getting stale. |
