Pat Buchanan doesn't mince words. While that's nothing new, this post from antiwar.com tells the truth in his common-sense manner. We are borrowing billions from rich Arabs to protect rich Europeans. We don't have enough troops, and certainly not enough money, to keep troops in 100 nations; especially when we just committed over $850 billion (for starters) to the bailout and find it politically impossible (so far) to cut back on the entitlements.
Our solution: Use the military for national defense only and let the rest of the world sort itself out. If we can use diplomacy to help others solve their problems, fine; but our "big stick" will soon be whittled down to a pencil.
Oh, and by the way, if we adopt a defensive posture for our military, we might be amazed at how much we can cut back on the Homeland Security budget -- that is, if Homeland Security were really intended to protect us from external threats (rather than internal dissidents like myself).
