The President undoubtedly means well as he works with other nations to fight ISIS, but as a country, America has more pressing matters here at home. Instead of involving ourselves with Europe and the Middle East, U.S. officials should be more preoccupied with implementing healthcare reform and tax reform.
We should focus on lowering our national debt, not increasing monetary spending each day. At this point in time, the U.S. military should be mighty enough to neutralize threats that would harm our people, but we should immediately halt the practice of deploying our troops overseas, at least for now.
CNN affirms the White House as deliberating on new involvement with Benghazi, in addition to forming an alliance with Libya as a strategy to take action against mounting terrorism. A halt on terrorism is critical, however, there is potential risk in becoming so preoccupied with other nations that we neglect our own.
In light of the plethora of issues and variables attached to foreign policy, there is no simple, easy answer. Terrorism is a highly perilous threat and countries around the globe must join forces to snuff it out. Perhaps America’s increased military action will have some positive impacts in the world. Only time will tell.
