What do you plan on replacing it with, or how do you plan to compensate?


Also, what if say, idk, Iran or Pakistan or North Korea declares war on the world?

How do you plan on resolving that; also, if we leave before we're done in Iraq and Afghanistan, won't that just mean things will fall again, creating a power vacuum, that will then be another, possibly even worse war 10-20 years in the future?


Also didn't aid to Egypt allow us to train up their military so they could defend their people from say, Mubarak and his loyals and mercenaries?

Wasn't it a good thing in the end? As the like, aren't innocent Iranians now suffering without U.S. aid in Iran, as well? As necessary as it is and bad as it is to supply an enemy with goods, won't this also cause problems?
34.8% of our imports come from canada and mexico. we seriously import more oil from mexico than we do from saudi arabia.
