I'm not smart enough to know what smart policies would be, but there would be a cost to the stopped meddling...as I said before, there will be a cost to someone by any course of action.

I am
I would pull all of our troops out of Europe - Europe can defend itself - the fact is Europe doesn't need defending
We have enough nukes I would not spend money on more
I would reduce the size of our army
I would pull all of our troops out of Japan - or nearly all of them
I would announce a pullout date in Iraq and leave at that date (less than a year)
I would have a more even handed policy towards Israel
I would slash the military budget by 40% to start and another 30% down the road.

I would hold discussions with Iran, North Korea, and Venezuela.
I would apologize to the people of Iraq for the mistakes we have made

I would stop trying to overthrow regimes we do not like

I would slash the budget at the CIA
All sound policies
