“Washington, Jefferson, and Adams all warned against protracted foreign wars.”

We were attacked on 9/11. All three of those men would have done the same thing that we did without perhaps invading Iraq. They would have shot people like Kokesh.

I think the original injunction was against "foreign entanglements".

Ron Paul's position was widely held within the GOP as recently as 1940 but has been obsoleted by modern technology, which reduces our war-warning time from about 15 minutes during the Cold War to zero today, thanks to Chinese proliferation efforts (the "borrowed knife" strategy: a nuclear weapon goes off in downtown Boston. So sorry, so sad. Who did it? We didn't. Not our problem. Condolences.).
