You think letting other countries wage wars of conquest whenever they like is helpful for building a safer world for Americans and America?

1. And there's what proof we're going to be attacked? Not fearmongering BS, actual proof. "Might" or "could be" aren't reasons to do something. I assume you still drive despite the fact that you could die in a car crash.
