You know, it’s interesting (from my admittedly limited knowledge of history): Before the US entered WWII, there were a significant portion of isolationists, and actually it was quite popular thought to “stay out of the war in Europe”.

Then that all pretty much evaporated after Pearl Harbor.

Now, I would think that 9/11 would be, or should have been, our modern day Pearl Harbor, uniting the country against radical Islam. It did for a while, but now, for some reason, there seems to be a growing backlash against the WoT, for reasons I still can’t fathom. A growing isolationist movement.

Maybe it’s literally the amount of years: After all, for the US, WWII “only” lasted 4 years. It’s been over 10 since 9/11.

For whatever reason the isolationists seem to be back in “vogue”, it’s puzzling and disappointing. I never imagined, or wanted to really, the days and weeks after 9/11 that this country would forget that horrible day and what kind of threat such insanity poses. Apparently some have though, again, a sad reality.

Either they have forgotten, or bought into some crazy conspiracy theory that deflects blame away from Islamic terrorism; either way, this is why we have the likes of Ron Paul today. God help us.
