I'm talking about going all the way back to the Gulf War. We stuck our hand in a hornet's nest. If we'd have kept our noses out of their business, things would eventually sort themselves out, just as they always have. America can't even handle its own problems because we're too busy helping everyone else with theirs.

But is it wrong to help others? Yes, we can do too much instead of fixing our own issues. But things never have sorted themselves out there, and they've always been a center of conflict. Go all the way back to Persia and before; it has always been a madhouse.
