Pat Buchanan makes good sense in a column on Townhall.com.  He argues that Americans’ disposition to sacrifice for altruistic ends is waning.  The people, if not the government, are ready to pull back and let the rest of the world manage on its own.  He says:  “Interventionism has failed us. Americans are groping toward a new foreign policy that puts America first and a trade policy that puts Americans first.” 

I tend to agree with him.  I’m fed up with our endless sacrifices and their constant carping.  If they hate us so much let’s just come home and let them stew in their own juices.  In the process we should leave the United Nations and kick them out of the country.  Think of the money we could save.
