No More Foreign Meddling

     There are riots in Egypt!
    The Washington Times quotes Pres. Obama in South Africa, where he is in the midst of a weeklong tour, as saying, "“Our most immediate concern with respect to protests this weekend have to do with our embassies and consulates. We have been in direct contact with the Egyptian government”.
May I remind you that approximately a year ago, under similar political discord in Egypt, Pres. Obama, with the assistance of warmonger Sen. McCain, spent $1.5 billion to put Pres. Morsi in power. There was also talk about a $60 million "enterprise fund" and a $450 million emergency cash infusion, although I don't know that those sums were actually paid. Last January, a deal was also concluded to give Egypt 16 F-16 fighter planes ($256 million) and 200 Abrams tanks ($1 billion).
    The issue is not so much what we have spent on Egypt in the past, but why the federal judgment went into the expense. More specifically, we spent a few billion dollars putting Egyptian President Morsi in power, and now the Egyptian people want to throw him out.
    I have been adamantly opposed to nation building, such as the Egyptian situation, and now the start of a similar operation in Syria. My opposition is based primarily on the fact that we have no justification for determining the destiny of other peoples of the world. They have that specific right themselves. It is now also clear that the US government doesn't have the slightest idea what it is doing with respect to trying to reform various other governments. Unless Congress throws out the warmongers like Sen. McCain and gets down to a serious consideration of US foreign policy, additional blunders will be made at great expense to the American taxpayers. Congress needs to ask itself two questions, "What right do we have to interfere? And, "what's in it for us?"
