I absolutely agree with you! This is exactly what we need to do with most global military actions: STAY THE FUCK OUT.
The Chinese are doing to us pretty much what we did to the Soviets in the 80's: encouraging us to bankrupt ourselves through unnecessary global military spending. And we're so dumb that we are falling for it! I figure one more unfunded war, coupled with another round of tax cuts, should put us in line to be the next Greece in about 10 years. But hey, what did the neocons tell us 10 years ago?
"We're better off fightin' 'em over thar than over hyar!" Idiots!
