Time for a Defense Policy that Defends America

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to recognize that promiscuously intervening in countries and initiating conflicts is dangerous. After fighting bloody insurgencies in Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan, it should be obvious to all that there are few easy victories in such Third World battles. After confronting Russia over Georgia and threatening to challenge China over Taiwan, it should be obvious that small wars risk turning into big wars. After suffering terrorist attacks on America's homeland, it should be apparent even to the most enthusiastic international meddlers that there is a price to be paid for making endless enemies overseas.

Interventionism is an expensive and unconstitutional foreign policy.
