Imagine yourself as th US President. What do you think are the major problems with US foreign policy? Should the US continue to have troops deployed in South Korea, Afghanistan, Iraq or should the US focus on internal issues such as unemployment, hardening soft targets, the economy in shambles, and the infrastructure crumbling? Let's debate!
