Foreign Policy Incompetence of Obama, Hillary & Now Kerrey

It is my belief that for many years now, even further back than President Truman, the US has meddled far too often and too deeply in the affairs of foreign countries.  The toll on our nation has been incalculable in terms of money wasted, lives lost/permanent physical/psychological damage to soldiers and foreign services officials, lives lost or permanent physical/psychological damage as well as destruction in the countries in which we meddled.  Our international reputation is in shambles.  The ineptness/incompetence of the current administration in this arena has finally exposed the folly of such actions.  The turmoil in the Middle East and the role our government has played throughout is proof positive.  While I don't agree with the author's view of our role, the article exposes the folly of our overly aggressive and self-serving approach to international relations.  My take?  We should seriously cut back on our interventions in the affairs of others.  Except in the most extreme cases limit our involvement to engaging in commerce/trade but mind our own business otherwise.  We have enough problems to take care of at home than to be playing the role of "nanny" for the whole world.
