The United States in the latter part of the 20th century overextended itself economically and diplomatically. It made commitments and became overtly involved in locations around the world that had very little to do with critical American interests. The policy cost America dearly in material and human treasure. The reality for the 21st century will be much different. Interested parties should read Washington’s farewell address. It was remarkably prescient and remains relevant.

Robert Heinlein called this scenario in his novels and short stories 60 years ago -- he was prophetic.

Too bad. Worse for us.

"Without universal values in our foreign policy, we have no identity as a nation," says Kaplan

Jimmuh Carter redux. A profoundly ignorant non sequitur. Nowhere in the history of this Nation's founding was there defined a mission to incorporate "universal values" into foreign policy. This article is the product of a stupid man, pretending to think.
