Is Rubio running for veep, or Globocop?

Americans are burdened by a crushing debt load and an administration that can’t keep its hands to itself at home or abroad. And so here comes Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., a leading contender for the GOP veep slot, to insist that “what happens all over the world is [America’s] business.”

In his much-hyped foreign policy speech at the Brookings Institution Wednesday, Rubio declared that “every aspect of lives is directly impacted by global events. The security of our cities is connected to the security of small hamlets in Afghanistan.” (“If true, we’re all going to die,” cracked the American Conservative’s Michael Brendan Dougherty).
