After Failures in Afghanistan, We Must Rethink Our China Strategy

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

50% : In the case of the Taliban and Iraqi insurgents, we should have taken it to their principal state sponsors in Tehran, Islamabad, and Beijing.
48% : The trillions of dollars we poured into Iraq and Afghanistan actually enriched the terrorists, and their state sponsors in Iran, Pakistan, and China, at our expense.
43% : In Kabul and Baghdad, we needed the same, plus and until the democracies matured -- the United States and allies should have summarily removed any official, no matter how high up, who was found to be taking money from the Taliban, narco-traffickers, Islamabad, Tehran, or Beijing.
37% : America's turn to isolationism is the dangerous strategy of waiting to get sucker-punched.
37% : Third, stay focused on the root cause of the problem, including state-sponsors of terrorism in Beijing, Tehran, and Islamabad.
36% : What went wrong is that we fought the wars unsustainably, and did not take the fight to corrupt officials in Kabul, Islamabad, Tehran, and Beijing.
29% : This chaos is actually already upon us, with the rise of the CCP and its illiberal allies, creating instability by supporting terrorists and rogue regimes like the Taliban, Russia, Iran, Pakistan, Venezuela, Syria, and North Korea.
