Not necessarily. I had to go to the expanded section on FP.

I probably sound like a hawk on Iran but not like you may think. Iran has to be stopped with their determination to create a worldwide caliphate and wipe Israel off the map, but the best way to do that is to isolate them and impose an embargo that is actually followed instead of issuing all those exemptions. Appeasing them doesn't work. Encourage Iranians to take their country back instead of ignoring them.

Either change the ROE, support our troops with the proper equipment and intelligence or get out of Afghanistan.

BUT, there's lots I don't know about the ME. Maybe it makes sense to have a presence in all the countries that surround Iran until they are neutralized and have a new government. However, that only addresses the Shi'ias. There are others bent on spreading Islam all over the world and imposing Sharia. Whack-a-Mole.
