Blind GOP Isolationism Does Not Escape Blame

For anyone who follows me on Twitter (Dean_Rice) you know I've been very critical of President Obama's indecisive and in my opinion dreadful foreign policy ie Syria, Assad, ISIS, Ukraine and Russia.

The truth is though that the blind isolationist mindset of many Republicans in Congress is as much to blame for the current global security meltdown as is Obama. The "not our business" mentality has a very real cost.

We can't be the worlds policeman, that is true. However, hiding behind this slogan while our national security erodes just to get a few more votes is at best naive and at worst cynically calculating.
