This hasn't worked at all. Arguably the insistence that 'people want to kill us' as a carte blanche justification to invade and interfere in the balance of power in the region has made us less secure, and has deteriorated the security of the entire region.

Disagree. At present we have marxist democrats declaring everything from climate change to systemic racism, to inanimate firearms, to transphobia being the biggest threat to this country. If muslim terrorists were flying planes into the White House or Congress, or attacking, invading and beheading folks in the fancy gated communities in DC where all the politicians, judges, and lobbyists live, they’d be singing a different tune. Hell if millions of Mexicans were pouring into DC, setting up cartel gangs and preying on the elites the way they prey on citizens, I’m betting they would find a bigger threat to this country than the bullshite they are pushing.

I have no idea what this is in reference to. But again, the notion that the 'world is a battlefield' where we have to fight battles elsewhere to prevent them here is not reflective of what has occurred these last two decades, nor does it recognize the myopia of our strategy in the ME. Unless you think letting the Iranians build a proxy force was part of that strategy, or leaving a vacuum of power so great that traditional powers waltzed in and did what they wanted.
