The second World War was a continuation of the First, and the First was triggered by a cascade of European alliances.
Some of the Founders warned us about getting entangled in foreign intrigues - but we didn't listen.
And now we are paying the price.
“Some of the Founders warned us about getting entangled in foreign intrigues - but we didn’t listen.”
It was George Washington. George was only partly correct.
I find it disturbing that you should quote that. I have a documentary on WWII where a “Archie Bunker” type person was saying the same thing during the 30s - some idiot on the street. Extreme isolationism developed in this country after the First World War. It delayed our full entry into the conflict until Pearl Harbor made it necessary. IF we had of mobilized and entered earlier, then quite possibly many more lives would not have been lost. Certainly the disaster of Pearl Harbor would not have occurred and the destruction of England.
You are thinking just like the foolish of the 1930s. If they listen to person like yourself and the insane Ron Paul....we set ourself up for much worse. That is the lesson that never seems to be learned.
Just asking Newt Gingrich,is the only Speaker of the House to have been disciplined for ethics violations.Would this not be another issue for, Newt Gingrich,publicly acknowledged cheating on his first and second wives.He asked for a divorce while his wife was recovering from cancer surgery..I think his past will come back to haunt him.
We should just wait until the establishment Republicans tell us who we want, always worked before right?
Isn't that what the last guy promised?
I guess his teary-eyed support for criminals had nothing to do with it then. What was I thinking?
nice article, it frames the traditional conservative foriegn policy position quite poignantly
