Stopping War with other Countries

Dear President Trump,
The current war(s) that the U.S. is presently engaged in (sanctions should be included as economic warfare, which means we are at war with more countries than I can count on my two hands), are a severe drain on the moral energy and financial capital of this great country (Shambaugh, 2016). Why are we wasting so much? And for what?
The ethics of war and the current U.S. responses to terrorism are opposed to one another. I was happy to see that you ended the CIA program of funding rebels in the Middle East (aka terrorists). We need more of that. Yet, your administration now plans to send more troops to Afghanistan. We are still warmongering against Iran. ISIS is really on the ropes only because of Russian and Iranian intervention—and the neoconservatives in Congress still want Assad gone. This is not about terror. After all, our allies (and ourselves) are the biggest sponsors of terrorism! (Saudi Arabia, Israel, and the U.S.—an unholy trinity).
No matter what ethical theory we choose to examine this war, it is wrong. From the classical ethical theory of Aristotelianism, we see that it is against the one, the good, the true and the beautiful because we are using lies and deception as a pretext for undermining governments in the Middle East for a purpose (minerals, pipelines, and Israeli/neoconservative agendas) that is not even officially acknowledged. Without honesty, there can be no good. From a utilitarian perspective—which is the philosophy of J. S. Mill (“John Stuart Mill,” 2016), the good cannot be obtained unless it is good for the majority of people and is in effect a common good for all involved. What is the common good of annihilating whole peoples (many of them innocent), causing millions of refugees to flood Europe (where more nations are destabilized and social unrest piles upon social unrest)? We are destroying one way of life after another—and the finger must be pointed at ourselves, because we are the ones who sponsored the Taliban in the first place to fight a proxy war against the Soviets decades ago. We further exacerbated the situation by funding rebels and working with the House of Saud and the Israelis to undermine Assad’s regime and destroy the region.
We should immediately withdraw from the Middle East and cease intervening in countries that just want to be left alone. We should leave Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria. We should stop threatening North Korea, which has never attacked us and knows better than to ever attack us (though we keep threatening the state with military exercises in its own backyard). We should step leveling sanctions against Russia for protecting its own people in Crimea and Ukraine. We should stop the saber rattling against Iran and calling for Assad to go. Our efforts in Libya and Iraq should surely send the message that when we intervene, chaos follows. We should not seek to annihilate the order that these countries possess just because of some hidden agenda that a secret cabal in our government wishes to pursue. As the president you must do your utmost to uproot this cabal and to “drain the swamp” (Overby, 2017) as you promised to do during your campaign.
Keep your promises. The enemy is within—not without. Focus your strength and resources on fighting the foes in our own government, in our Congress, in our own national security agencies and intelligence communities. We elected you not because we wanted to advance the aims of the War Party but because we wanted a leader to put an end to these unethical crimes against humanity. Enough is enough—and no matter how you look at it, it will all end badly unless you end it now for good.
