And, before any one suggests that this is another Anti-American post by a Brit, it isn't. I'm curious to know what you guys over there think about all this.

This isn't the sort of thing I'd ever perceive to be anti-American. So many Americans agree with you that this sort of thing is a bunch of bullshit.

I would love to see America pull itself out of world politics. We have no business there. Stop blowing billions of our tax dollars in foreign aid on countries that don't even like us, and stop sending our stupid kids to kill and die in countries we ought to have no business in.
