No "history book" will care about this because no American lives were lost over it. Why should it end on our terms? Because we are America? This way of thinking is narcissistic but yet many Americans still think this way. We are not rulers of the world, we are not above the law, and we are not the moral authority. We need to get over ourselves and understand we can turn the other cheek and walk away at times rather than throwing billions of dollars and countless lives at something for nothing more than a flex.

I understand. But that is where I disagree. People don't want us to police the world. And I get it. But I don't mind. If we can and have and done so so well to keep America homeland safe then we have to do what we have to do. Fight them there and not here. Keep your enemy's close. Never again can we not be involved overseas and a Hitler come to power. Isolating us doesn't make us safe. It makes us out of tough and unaware. Playing baseball and living the American dream while the rest of the world burns as we did leading up to WWII until Japan attacked and Americans finally got on board. Next time however the homeland may be hit and I'd rather police the world then live that moment.
