follow up question
of these national security threats : Taliban/al qaeda network (afghan invasion), Saddam Hussain, Iraqi insurgency/secretarian violence/civil war, or ISIS (2013-?) is the biggest to our country at the time?

No to the 3 initial questions. for the most part im a libertarian. its conflicting. i would love for us to completely disengage from these proxy like ME problems that just seem to increase and grow with no end in sight while spending a ton of money on Navy and air force so we can deal with the chinas and putins if needed.
but on the other hand, we cant turn a complete blind eye and allow insurgents to become ISIS capable or worse .....
idk man, i have no answers. id let the ME police the ME.
our greatest allies are the pacific and atlantic ocean. we are on the complete opposite side of the workd where all these problems occur.
ME is a shit show and no one has an answer. its not an obama failure, its not a bush failure. there is no way to truly win the game.
