Er, howso? America never really ceased being militarily involved in the world. Hell, we are the top arms supplier worldwide, easily. Throw on top of that a series of small conflicts since Vietnam (Grenada, Bosnia, Kosavo) and it's no so much we got complacent, we just realized Kennedy was right about the scale of arm conflict for us narrowing, focusing. Well, maybe that was premature to think so, but are you saying that the nation doesn't know what's good for itself? Er, that's very definitley not democracy there.
No point in fighting our enemies so vehemently as to become no better than they.
