A National Strategic Narrative

[Bosun]

The United States needs a national strategic narrative. We have a national security strategy,
which sets forth four core national interests and outlines a number of dimensions of an
overarching strategy to advance those interests in the 21
st
century world. But that is a document
written by specialists for specialists. It does not answer a fundamental question that more and
more Americans are asking. Where is the United States going in the world? How can we get
there? What are the guiding stars that will illuminate the path along the way? We need a story
with a beginning, middle, and projected happy ending that will transcend our political divisions,
orient us as a nation, and give us both a common direction and the confidence and commitment
to get to our destination.

That's nation building. Or boarder-less countries.
We already have plenty of examples of this not working.

The rest of that got more nonsensical as I read it.

sorry, this one nation thing is a pure face plant. We get along fine, there is no way we are going to get the world to accept democracy, and I will accept nothing less.

no one is talking about a borderless world. but there does have to be an acknowledgement that we can't keep thumping our way through the world blowing up stuff. one, it's irrational; two, we can't afford to. the neocon wars of choice are bankrupting us.

What neo-con wars of choice?

The war on terror is in response to 9/11.
The Iraq war is over, but was started on very bad intel

Both were supported by dems as well as reps. unless dems can be neo-cons....

Lybia showed who's off thier rocker and who is closest to the constitution.

Syria is all obama


I have heard more than a little talk about a border-less world.

the best way to handle the world is let it take care of itself. Every time we help, someone resents it. Time to not have entangling alliances.

a borderless world, or one run by the united nations is asinine if you ask me..

as far as obama, it is his wars now....he has been mismanaging his presidency for the past two years.... it is not a neo-con thing any longer..
