[QUOTE="ez bake, post: 2315114, member: 229"] You know man, every now and then I get tired of the Black and White logical fallacies and the Strawman arguments, so it's good to combine them into one convenient point of debate for me - I truly appreciate that. :thumb: In all seriousness, I think we should stop invading, carrying out secret missions, drone-striking, dictator-toppling, empire-building, and generally being a Dick of a country when it comes to meddling in other nation's affairs. What's the result of this? Even if it's not less and less threatening by recruits from the survivors of those endeavors, even if it's just a wash and we're not safer from those wacky nations that "hate our freedom", we've saved a crap-ton of money and kept many of our men and women in the armed forces out of harm's way by not involving them in stupid operations that didn't need to happen in the first place (because they didn't accomplish a damn thing other than pissing off those who didn't really have us on their radar to begin with). I'd love to hear from anyone who thinks things will actually get worse if we pull out of every country whose ass up which we currently have our puppeteer hand and/or secret (or not-so-secret) missions going on to bomb/shoot/stab/poison/warmongering and just say "F!@#$ the whole lot of 'em - no aid money and no wars. We'll talk on the internet if we need to exchange pleasantries". [/QUOTE]
