Now that we've slayed our big boogeyman, America is going to ease into a golden age, where War on anything is not our essential paradigm. We'll greatly reduce our military footprint, reinvesting that money in clean renewable energy technology and research, enhancing the social safety net to produce a demonstrable trickle up effect and reach out to the poor not just of America but of the world. A new cabinet position, Secretary of Peace will be established, and on the rare occasions that terrorism rears it's ugly head we'll deal with it through international police work, not disproportionate, non functional military force.

I'm kidding of course. We'll stay stuck in the middle east and blow all our money their until the Chinese own all our debt and tell us if we don't get out and start realizing we're Britain after WWII (If we're that lucky) tey stop selling us shit, stop making cheap shit for us to buy and stop loaning us money. By that time America will be 1% English speaking astronomically wealthy and 99% poverty or bellow speaking a pidgeon blend of Spanish and Chinese.
