Actually, I think the US should take its military back to its own borders, and send nothing more than a few diplomats to embassies around the globe. What the US is doing now under this president is totally unconstitutional and he should be impeached.
As Southland mentioned, however, it would be "damned if they do, damned if they don't" get involved in various conflicts.
Also, I don't think the "average American" of which I count myself, really understands the way nations and religions are "married" here in the Middle East. I know I didn't realize the extent of it (and probably still don't given my lack of knowledge on the whole history of the region). It is just a completely different way of thinking/living than the freedoms and separation of church/state that is practiced in North America.
