Have gun will travel/NOT

Compare & contrast these 2 quotes given that our troops are in over 100 foreign lands(where we dont belong).So much for original intent .Guess we know better than the founding fathers who werent serious after all.

* “America goes not abroad [i.e., overseas] in search of monsters to destroy. She [i.e., America] is the well-wisher to the freedom and independence of all. She is the champion and vindicator only of her own. She well knows that by once enlisting under other banners than her own, were they even the banners of foreign independence, she would involve herself beyond the power of extrication in all the wars of interest and intrigue, of individual avarice, envy and ambition, which assume the colors of patriotism and usurp the standards of freedom.” (From his address for Independence Day, 1821)

(sounds just like US in Iraq & elsewhere )bring ALL our troops home now.

*Henry Kissinger (in the book Final days by Woodward & Bernstein) In Haigs presence then Secretary of State HK referred pointedly to military men as dumb stupid animals to be used as pawns for our foreign policy.

Apparently not much has changed since then(Vietnam)

This is not coherent.

Nor will it be long-lasting.....I predict a ZOT in three....two....

That's not gonna win you friends, here.

I like to have a few beers sometimes myself, but I mean really...

The World has changed. Back then it didn't make sense to take the war to Britain.

And back then you didn't have foreigners bringing terrorist activities to our soil (ever hear of the "September 11, 2001 Attack on America?).

So you want to sit back and let them bring it to us...again?

Should we have not gotten involved in WWI or WWII?

Should we not go after those whose only aim in life is the death of us (I assume that includes you, too)?

If our forefathers had foresight and could see today, it might be written differently. Or if they were here today, then in hindsight, they might change it.

I really don't think you mean that America should only defend herself when it comes to her own soil. Seems like that would be a risk of "too little, too late".

But maybe I misunderstood your post, too.

Doesn't it scare you to agree with the likes of Michael Moore, Kerry and other Socialists?

[Jeff Chandler]

I'm confused. I wasn't until I read your post, but now that I've stop reading it, I'm okay again.

This is not coherent.

LOL! You noticed that too, huh?

[RedBloodedAmerican]

Let me edit this:

"The World has changed. Back then it didn't make sense to take the war to Britain"

I should probably have rephrased that.

They wrote that to make a point that America should not be the aggressor.

And in the War on Terror, we are not.

We are defending ourselves, and others who cannot defend themselves, from further onslaught.

I don't even see anything we have done as "pre emptive". Iraq had plenty of time to comply, and constantly did not. Shooting our aircraft in a no fly zone is a big no-no. We even had assistance from Iraqiis and other Islamic communities in remving Saddam and establishing a Govt there (in process). I guess I don't get your point. Maybe turn off CNN.

hey, even a blind squirrel bumps into a nut now and then.

[TASMANIANRED]

How about from the halls of Montezuma....

The US has faced islamic terrorism in a previous century in the form of the Barbary Pirates, what did we do about it?


KICKED THEIR ARAB ASSES, It worked then, it will work now.

[cmsgop]

Just make sure the male squirrel does not bump into 2 nuts...
