The idea of nation building needs to be gone from the American policy, protection of our country should be number one,build a super strong military,if attack destroy the enemies military and will to fight withdraw immediately from the battle field and let them pick up the pieces.

When our first soldier was lost to an Afghan military/policemen we should have ceased all training until there government had control of its people if that did not occur then move out.

I serious doubt the Muslim religion will ever have democracy IMO Islamic teachings are in constant conflict with freedom.

Outsourcing and nation building will in time destroy our middle class
