• Core of Reagan's policy was we want to defend ourselves, and our limited government. Two things that can conflict. 
• Danger's out there but not the same danger of the cold war.
• We're not focused on big things and big threats, but instead Nation Building.  Our FP is disconnected from fundamental interests.
• Syria's awful stuff, but is US interests involved.  Reagan's greatest mistake was going into Lebanon.
• It's hard enough to Social Engineer in the US.  How do we do it overseas?

*** Jim Carafano: from Heritage foundation.

• American Conservative movement has always diverged FP.
• We should never neglect readiness regardless how we disagree on FP and Defense.
• We've been living off Reagan's rearmament for thirty years.
• Obama's going to cut, we need to rearm the force.

• What are the principles of American FP?  Ought to be the founding ones.  The Universality of our principles problematic.  Get's is outside our boundaries.
