I would add, or rather correct, only one caveat in your post. Yes, foreign policy is of utmost importance, but it is not more important than the economy; it is the self-same issue, or rather, two sides of the same coin. We get the economy right, we get foreign policy and vice versa. When I say get our policies right, of course, I mean getting back to the Constitution and the advice of our Founders. Limiting our Government and spending, especially the military spending overseas, leads to more freedom and prosperity at home, while our influence abroad grows through trade and good will, not military might and fear. According to Machiavelli, the greatest fortress a prince can have is the affection of his people, and I believe it is the same for our country. After all, if they hated Christians, they would bomb the Vatican, and if they hated freedom, they would have many countries to choose from that have far more freedom than us, like the Swiss. Makes you scratch your head in bewilderment doesn't it. Well done! I would add, or rather correct, only one caveat in your post.
