I waffle on this. Long time readers know I usually lean in the jeffersonian
"honest friendship for all, entangling alliances with none" direction but
I've been somewhat swayed lately by those who argue that 200 years on, with
ICBM transit times being in the tens or hundreds of minutes, that this no
longer is a realistic policy, and also swayed by the successes we had when
we did nation building "right" (i.e., after WW II).
But ya, I can be swayed back.

Yes! By letting the taxpayers keep it, for example.
