Your entire premise circles around this concept that some Evil Foreign Groups exist, always waiting for any hint of American weakness to pounce.

Have you ever considered that many of these groups develop as a response to our own neocolonial actions in their backyard?

I'm just giving the medicine to cure a particular disease. What caused the disease is irrelevant; all that is relevant is whether or not the medicine works.

That said, I very strongly oppose occupying foreign countries, the TSA, sacrificing our troops, providing foreign aid to nations that operate concentration camps (NoKo), etc. If I want to oppose these things effectively, I have to propose an alternative. I am.

By the way, I think the term "neocolonial" is stupid. I don't know precisely what you mean by it, but I'm assuming you mean roughly the preceeding paragraph, and I'm stating that my solution should not be considered a part of the imaginary "neocolonial" set of actions, but I don't know if you'll agree with that.
