Trump was right—to oppose our Middle East Imperialist policies

By SJ Otto

Trump’s latest declaration is that the US has defeated ISIS(Islamic State) and the USdoes not need to be in the Middle East. He is right. I don’t agree with him often, but the US is addicted to war and imperialism. The Republican Party, especially, is addicted to the idea that the USneeds to be in charge of the entire world. They believe every decision foreign governments make needs to by approved by US leaders. And most Republicans can’t imagine a war they aren’t supporting.

It amazes me that his own party is tearing him up over his stand in Syria.

I listened to NPRon the radio today and they can’t find anyone in the US government that agrees with Trump. That includes both Democrats and Republicans. I heard comments such as “shocked’ and “big mistake.”

But this is a country today where no one, Democrat nor Republicans, can imagine the USat peace. We are the world’s bully boys and we have to be fighting and killing those who don’t conform to the USstandards.

I don’t care why Trump made this decision, it is the right one to make. The rest of the county’s government leaders need to get over it!
