I salute the president for removing troops from Syria. We have no business being the world’s policeman and the Middle East has suffered war and conquest for countless centuries. We don’t belong there in the middle of it.

We no longer need their oil. It’s time to let those countries take care of themselves. They are not extensions of our 50 states. Too many lives and too much taxpayer money have been wasted. Sure, we have allies all over the world, but that kind of foreign entanglement also led to a gigantic, disastrous and pointless conflict known as World War I. We don’t need to keep repeating such events.
