You're making some interesting points. I think you see Bachmann as possibly a Bush on steroids, using foreign policy and the military to evangelicize or fight some vague "evil." Who knows, but I just don't get that sense of her. I was impressed by her answer at a debate that we should get out of Afghanistan past haste. Part of it was on financial grounds, but perhaps part of it was also a recognition that we have no business mucking around in muslim countries trying to turn them into Switzerland.
The rest of the field scares me even more on foreign policy. There is Ron Paul, bless his heart, who I agree with largely on the need to pull back from all our entanglements, but I fear that is the sort of thng you have to do incrementally and nuance doesn't seem to be his strong point. Except for Gary Johnson and maybe Cain, the others seem more or less to still be sipping the neo-con koolaid. Santorum is upfront about it, Perry does not seem like a guy who would challenge the brass, neither does Romney and I can only imagine what kind of multinational fiascos Huntsman would get us into. He's a big thinker, after all. And Gingrich is so all over the place, who knows what he would do.
So I am left with Bachmann, who has certainly not said anything provocative about attacking Iran, etc.
