[QUOTE="newfie, post: 6109206, member: 58700"] I'm going to step away from greenwalds opinion for a moment since he's not doing anything that puts food on my table or improves my living standard.. Sounds selfish i understand but thats how most people think "does it affect them" foriegn support and involvement in foriegn conflicts should be minimal. The decision being based on a couple of things does isolating us from involvement possibly lead to a greater world based conflict as what led us up to the world wars. is there a minimal involvement that can reduce that risk. does our policy of involvement take us to the extreme of being the world police force. We've certainly seen that did not work and led to many foriegn policy disasters. it basically created modern day Iran which has the potential of starting that world war if not reigned in. short answer its a bit of a tight rope. too little involvement or too much involvement can lead to greater conflict in the case of Israel we can support them and minimize the Iran threat and the terrorist threat that exists in that area without having to make any significant military investment in the area.
