I agree that we should limit our involvement in foreign conflicts. This seems like a very limited involvement to me. I would also say that we should listen more attentively to Eisenhower's warning on the military-industrial complex.
We're broke and sticking our nose where it doesn't belong.

FWIW, we had no business in Iraq and Romney is as much a war monger as Obama.
Wonder how closely Obama is working with the Muslim Brotherhood in Syria.
Egypt is run by them, Libya looks to be going that way, and the biggest rebel group in Syria is the Muslim Brotherhood also. You'd almost think that the Muslim Brotherhood was a staunch ally of the US.

I bolded the part of the Federal government you listed that is not a part of the Executive branch. I doubt very seriously that there would be even one of those Rings for the Congress these days,
