But why do we assume that government doing something is always an improvement over government doing nothing?

There is a difference between doing nothing and not having a strategy.

He doesn’t deserve the respect of being called “Mr. President”.

Our foreign policy record isn’t much better, despite big successes such as stopping Hitler. Consider the unintended consequences of involving ourselves in other conflicts, such as Vietnam.

We, the US Military stopped Hitler.
We, the US Military could have stopped the Communists in Vietnam.
It was a failure on the part of the Civilian Government. I we had been allowed to wage war in Vietnam as we did in Europe the outcome would have been drastically different. No war can ever be won when we use or military as police or security guards. They are warriors. There job and duty is to kill and destroy our enemies. Until we allow them to do that again we will never win a war..

This photo indicates why Obama is so disliked internationally, and also why Obama has no "strategy" in relation to ISIS.

Love Stossel, but when these libertarians go off on foreign policy and national defense, they step into do do.

He’s right that with economic and domestic policy, “doing something” is often wrong and counter productive. But “doing something” about national defense is actually the one legitimate role of the Fed Gov. Of course Obama won’t do the right thing - but still - Stossel is not on solid ground here with his premise.

Vice President Cheney assured the world we'd be hailed as "liberators." After we weren't,...

Yeah, that sure was a bunch of hooey, huh?

Vice President Cheney assured the world we'd be hailed as "liberators." After we weren't, hawks said the invasion still made the world safer, because Saddam harbored terrorists. Well, Iraq is definitely a harbor for terrorists now.

That's not Bush's fault. That's all on Obama.

Who will be our “boots on the ground” in Syria and who will be the target.
