I think the facts that we still have nuclear weapons, and military in other countries are problems. My thoughts on it boil down to; I think that no real purpose, including deterence, is served by wielding such large sticks, and constantly being in somebody else's front yard.
My solution - Decommission 100% of our nuclear weapons, immediately. Remove all troops abroad, except those deployed on active missions. Make a public release to the world that admits we have unnesicarily tried to exercise far too much power around the world, and that we now realize the precious relationship between borders and soveriegnity. We have now redirected our focus to better server people both domestic and internationally by increasing our involvement in many positive programs worldwide and devoting many resources into stabilizing the American economy.
Then we duck into the dark and focus very heavily on solving domestic problems and providing foriegn aid only where needed.
Ah, if only idealism played a larger role in life.
