Those dead white folks lived in an era when it took a sailing ship from Europe 2 months to reach North America, and mustering and supplying even a force of 10,000 men across the ocean was a major undertaking that taxed even an empire on which the sun never set, which was why Cornwallis finally surrendered. The US landed 100,000 men in France during the invasion of Normandy and supplied 1m men under arms at any given time in Europe, mostly from across the Atlantic. Thereby showing such an operation in reverse was possible, and that Europe's problems will remain there only if a latter day Napoleon is, going forward, prevented from realizing his ambitions on the continent.

Hmmm, another progressive neocon who thinks Founding Fathers are outdated?
