Your solution is that because we're continuing to make mistakes in our foreign policy, that we should do anything necessary to protect ourselves since we're not changing our flawed policies? 

Why don't we correct our mistakes, learn from them, and then no one will want to come here to do us harm? Is that not a more logical solution?

No, I say we stop "causing shit" as part of the investment. Looks like we agree on that part.

I would say, we should get rid of the TSA, the Dept of Homeland Security, and close all bases overseas on other nation's territory. if we need to have ships or submarines staged in certain "areas of importance" that is one thing, but occupation is quite another.  We can have airport security, but being run by bureaucrats in Washington is doing nothing but harm.  Privatize it, just like businesses do for transporting large amounts of money from safes to a bank. 

We should announce we are bringing home all troops stationed in other countries, and open friendly talks and free trade with any nation that wants to.  That would solve the problem.
