Agreed. Americas foreign policy has been WAY too focused on military interventionism and most of it is largely unnecessary, especially since the cold war is over and there are no significant threats to America. I can't help but think, if Americas military and European interests weren't so involved in middle east politics, it's entirely possible that they wouldn't hate us all so much over there and 9/11 might never have happened.
