Dear misguided neocons:
George Washington warned of avoiding foreign entanglements that our not in our interest.
The United States wasn’t founded to be the world’s supercop or superpower or to try and nation-build bankrupt cultures.
The US was established to safeguard the life, liberty and the propserity of its citizens.
Our “engagement” with the rest of the world should be based on that and that alone. Anything that doesn’t promote the interests of Americans shouldn’t be done.
The purpose of our military is not to subsidize the defense of foreign countries who apparently care less about their own defense than we do.
We’ve squandered too much of our precious blood and capital for little or nothing in return. Even worse is the extent to which getting involved in anything and everything abroad has contributed to the life- and economy-sapping growth of Big, Fat Government at home.

Enough.
I don’t have a problem with being labeled with the I word - Isolationist. No one has ever convinced me that isolationism is necessarily bad.
