No response, hm? I wonder why it is that when I raise similar questions, the daggers come out AND all these pretty cheerleaders come dancing? Perhaps you should announce that you are actually not American. Then I bet there will be much more attention directed towards your posts criticising US foreign policy. In time, you might even rise to my level of popularity whereby whenever you get into a debate, girls flock in to gang-bash you on the side :-)

i believe that the US should definitely stop supporting all other countries/leaders (in the context which you are asking and more). If anybody gave a damn about the US constitution, our armed services wouldn't be deployed all over the world being the neighborhood cop. We wouldn't be providing welfare to every country who does not believe in personal responsibility as a matter of policy. Of course, we will be vilified for being cold and heartless, letting monsters victimize their citizens and innocents starve (for whatever reason). But I have no problem with that. Hell, we have enough problems inside our borders. We don't need our armed forces deployed in iraq to neutralize the problem. If we legitimately pull out all influence in that and every other country, and we still received a threat......parking lot time.
