One of the chants of the antiwar folks has been "No Blood For Oil". Catchy. In their view, two incommensurable liquids. I disagree. Try living without oil. End of us. The only liquid more important for us than oil is water. Both worth spilling blood over.
But there are two other items I would not want to spill any of my countrymen's blood over.
"No Blood For Cheese". If the French ever get to the point where they are actually going to be swamped in an Islamic hell of their own multicultural making and finally decide to take up arms against the Mohammedan barbarians, I will wish them well and sell them arms. But not a drop of American blood. Whatever debt we owed them for their self-interested help in the Revolution has been more than paid back by two European wars with plenty of Yankee corpses. And they have paid us back as the French do.
"No Blood for Muslims". I have no problem with attacking a Muslim country if they deserve it and if our national interest really warrants it (see above re oil), but no more attacking countries for the sake of supposedly victimized or democratically-hopeful Muslim populations. Either in the Balkans or the Middle East or anywhere. No more liberating. Only protecting our vital interests or punishing. Otherwise, leave them to their own messes. They're not worth it and they certainly don't appreciate it from us dirty infidels.

A fine foreign policy outline. Would you consider a six-month tour of duty replacing HRC at State? Or perhaps in the to-be-created position of CAIR Czar. It would require working for the regime, but I understand the 0 doesn't actually meet with his cabinet, so you would be spared that.
How much do they pay? :)
