Why Bother If Ignorant Humans Are Just Going to Destroy It All?

By Lance Winslow

Over the last few years, I've been watching all the CFR Council on Foreign Relations videos, and I have a new nickname for that organization, I now call it; The Council on Foreign Appeasement. Why you ask? It's simple, because that is exactly what they are doing, and they are advising that the US foreign-policy should be one of appeasement above and beyond all else. Well, guess what? It isn't working, it's not even close to working, and yet we are marching ahead in the Middle East with such slogans as; "winning their hearts and minds," and some $1 trillion later in the Middle East in the last decade, well, it's not working as I said.

Further, it seems that we spend an awful lot of time helping other nations do what we call; Nation Building. This is one reason we have foreign embassies in other countries, to help keep open communication lines, foster trade, and help each other in the world. We have foreign embassies in nations which are our allies, and even nations which are not considered our allies. We have a reason for this, as we are trying to build unity, and peace in the world. Still, I have to ask a question; why bother building anything if ignorant humans are just going to destroy all that we work so very hard for?

Likewise, why should we do it with US taxpayer's money? If our embassies are burned down in a country, we should be paid back the money to rebuild them and to rebuild them stronger so it never happens again. We should also be paid for the security forces which are needed to protect it. That's only fair. If those nations are unwilling to do this, there should be no communication lines open and they should be labeled "less than allies" because it hardly makes sense to give money for infrastructure, military, or to those government forces which merely allow the bad behavior of their own citizens to destroy the property which belongs to the United States of America.

Any attack on our embassies is a terrorist attack on the United States. It should not be viewed any other way, and when the United States is attacked, we should reciprocate. And I think it's about time that we had a large demonstration of force in the Middle East (shock and awe times 10 to the 10th power), just so everyone is on the same page, they know where were coming from, and that the United States and our property is off limits. Because there will be hell to pay later if something does go down, this needs to stop. It's time for some real tough love, and some serious spankings. Please consider all this and think on it.
