We tried ignoring foreign countries when we left Afghanistan and we see how that worked out.
Come on Rabbi. You know damn well that while we may have left Afghanistan, we sure as hell set up camp in many, many other Muslim countries. Leaving one country that nobody cared about is not "ignoring foreign countries".
Again,
the point is we don't blame the US. Questioning the potential benefits and liabilities of foreign intervention is not blaming anyone. We're simply hoping to make smarter choices for America. I sure hope you understand that because it's the truth. We're on the same side here!
