The armed service strength of america is unmatched in every of world history. However fifteen years after September 11, Islamic totalitarianism is usually undefeated, emboldened, and on the march: from Paris and San Bernardino to Brussels and Orlando. Why?The fundamental problem lies in the irrational philosophic ideas that permeate-and subvert-American foreign policy.

Yes-easily-if we adopt the proper philosophic suggestions to guide our foreign policy.
