coddling "international welfare queens"

The American people deserve a far-reaching debate over foreign policy, said Barr. “For too long the U.S. has been coddling what amount to international welfare queens while playing global nanny to the Third World. We must develop a defense policy that defends America instead of everyone else.”

I agree with Mr. Barr completely. We should pull our troops our of Japan and Europe and most other places in the world and concentrate them where they need to be.

The fundamental challenge facing American foreign policy is not whether the U.S. talks to repressive regimes. The question, insists Barr, “is whether America will adopt a more restrained foreign policy, focused on protecting the core interests of the United States and the American people.”

We should be protecting our number 1 core interest. I agree!!!

I believe our #1 core interests are Americans and our nation, right here at home.
