No I don't want isolationism. And I don't want generals making policy. The


use of the MOAB is, IMO more than a tactical decision on how to wage a "war." I say "war" because it isn't a war. We've got our hands in multiple pies all under the guise of the endless, so-called War on Terror. It is best fought with intelligence gathering, with diplomacy, with limited police actions. Overthrowing countries, keeping troops in the field (who knows how many), selling armaments, these are losing propositions.

The buck stops on these with the President and Congress. Delegating these things to the generals is dangerous if you want to keep a Republic.
