"So, in your opinion, George Washington was a nutcase when he gave his farewell address?

George Washington's idea's about WMD consisted of the grapeshot (look it up).

Isolationism and withdrawal gave us the bloodiest war in the history of wars, including the murder of over 6 million jews.

Washington was born over 250 years ago, perhaps you should look for guidance on matters of foreign policy from people who knew what the atom was.

No, the man to blame for that is the "heroic" interventionist FDR who turned Jewish refugees away from our shores and then compounded his sins by refusing to bomb the railroad lines to the camps. Meanwhile, the great isolationist, H.L. Mencken wanted to let them in.

Ok, let’s look at it a different way. Let’s say you are America and you want to encourage the Iranians to have another election because you think the results are corrupt. Considering that power rests solely in the hands of the mullah ruling class, do you think a resolution passed by the US House of Representatives will further or hinder that cause?

WWI would have ended in a stalemate among fading world empires had we not intervened. We were attacked on eve of WWII so your statement doesn't apply.
