Exactly. We've been underwriting the world's security and prosperity for too long. It's time for us to stop giving away our hard earned dollars and start doing nation building right here at home. In addition, it's time for us to start playing the role of world cop. That means we need to accept the fact that there are going to be bad actors out there doing things we don't like, but that don't impact us directly. At times like those, we need to keep our nose out of it and let the countries that are impacted directly figure out how to deal with it. This is hard for the US to do, because we historically get involved with every damn world problem and it bleeds us dry. That has to stop.
