Beautifully written article Mr. Buchanan. If Conservatives would take his advice, the Democrats would never win another election again. Part of the fuel for Obama in 2008 was Bush's prolonged wars in the Middle East and his attack on our civil liberties. Obama has shown himself to be worse than Bush, but, Romney is really not that much better.

There is one way for certain that Romney is worse than Obama. His kowtowing to Sheldon Adelson and Netanyahu make it more likely that he would start another stupid war over there. Both of those two jerks own Romney, Adelson through campaign contributions alone. Obama, for whatever reasons, won't. I believe that he is still ticked off at Netanyahu over Biden being embarrassed by the announcement of more building in the West Bank when he was over there early in Obama's administration. Contrary to what the radiovangelists claim it was this that caused the bad blood between Obama and Netanyahu, not Bibi's visit to the WH that happened later.

Is it not long past time to do a cost-benefit analysis of our involvement in the Middle and Near East?

In this brief century alone, we have fought the two longest wars in our history there, put our full moral authority behind an "Arab Spring" that brought down allies in Tunisia, Egypt and Yemen, and provided the air power that saved Benghazi and brought down Moammar Gadhafi.

Yet this week U.S. embassies were under siege in Tunisia, Egypt and Yemen, and U.S. diplomats were massacred in Benghazi.

The cost of our two wars is 6,500 dead, 40,000...
