What should the USA have done, foreign policy-wise, after 9/11?
Destroy Bin Ladin's group in Afghanistan and those who hid him (Taliban).
Not had our commander-in-chief make up a bunch of lies and invade a country that was not a threat to us what-so-ever.
See with Afghanistan, the world backed us.
With Iraq, they saw us for the war-mongers we became.
Why does ISIS exist today.
George W Bush.

I would have pulled all our troops out of the middle east or majority Muslim nations.
Gone on TV AND made a speach saying congratulations, you got us on the chin. Next time there is an attack on us or our allies I will pick the name of a major Muslim city out of a hat and that city will cease to exist. If there are any attacks after that I will simply empty the hat and you won't have a religion left to fight for. Police your own I will kill you all.
God Bless the United States of America.

Thanks for hijacking the thread, jackass, and you are full of crap.
ISIL exists because of Obama's precipitate withdrawal from Iraq created the opportunity for ISIL.
Obama ignored the advice of all of his military advisers and did not leave a follow-on stabilization force of US military.
If Obama HAD left a follow on force, the task of dealing with ISIL now would be easier. There's a good chance that ISIL would not exist right now, had Obama followed the advice of his military advisers.
As it stands, Obama told us that he ended the war there, but, there it is -- we are again fighting in Iraq AND we are poised to commit acts of war on a sovereign nation (Syria) with whom we are not at war.
AQ, ISIL and groups like this are going to exist for all time. They are never going away.
Bush's plan was to create a stable peaceful Iraq that would NOT be a failed state that could host AQ. In retrospect, we can see that it was a risky gamble that had a low chance of succeeding without a 20 year US presence in that place.
