We're just going to have to agree to disagree, jyl.

In my opinion, it's easier to watch over a small pie in your own backyard than a huge pie. Plus, if you don't like that small pie, you have a better shot at changing the ingredients. If you don't like that huge pie, you might be able to change the chief chef, but that's about it.

I never said we had to be isolationists, even though that's what Badnarik proposes. Do we really need constant presence in supposedly 130 countries? We have a fairly mobile armed services. Wouldn't it be cheaper to have the 230,000 troops stationed inside the US, where the dollars would be reintroduced into the local economy instead of paying for Gunter's Audi station wagon and bier.

Send the armies to woop ass when necessary, but let them party at home when they are not needed.
