Despite spending more on defense than just about the rest of the world combined, we have not won a war since 1945. Although Obama has pulled us out of Iraq, war is still ongoing there. I suspect the same thing will happen when we leave Afghanistan. Further, our interventions all over the world - whether authorized by Congress or not - have resulted in more people hating us as we battle the seemingly ubiquitous terrorists.
Perhaps, the time has finally come when we should seriously review our current policies and accompanying penchant for using the military to solve the problems as perceived. Can some of these problem be resolved using our economic and cultural power?
