LOLOLOL. Americans out of Okinawa! No nuclear armed ships in Japanese ports!

I love these libs who say, "Bring all the troops home, we don't need to do anything abroad". Especially when they trot out Ron Paul as somebody ostensibly from our side to back this opinion up.

The fact of the matter is that a continuous US presence abroad has secured the sea lanes for *everybody* since WWII. We've kept the peace and allowed for a global economy to spring up; a global economy that has been free of conflicts by and large between major powers for decades.

Pulling the US away from all that puts the world in a mode that resembles 1880's Europe: a series of actors on the world stage that are all competing for the small piece of the pie. Sooner or later they'll butt heads...and all the UN resolutions in the world won't make a difference.
