When I was a kid, I never understood why the United States was always trying to solve the problems of other countries. As I became an adult, I understood this even less.
Just think of the lives that have been lost needlessly, the money that's been spent and the enemies that we have created by invading other countries with the pretense of fixing their problems.
My hat goes off to President Obama for having the courage to think outside the box and to announce to the world that now it's time for this country to step back and not try to fix the problems of others that are beyond our control.
If indeed there is a war on terror, this looks like the first step in ending it. Maybe it's time that this country fly under the radar for a while. After all, we have enough problems on our own turf that need better attention right now. Maybe if we let someone else take the burden of being number one, this country can finally focus on getting back to basics.
I don't believe this will make us weaker. If anything, it should make us more focused, which hopefully down the road can lead to some form of unity. And there is nothing stronger or sets a better example than that.
