Only by the new world order types that are so concerned about what’s good for America.
With that said, we have no compelling national interest for involvement in the Syrian civil war. Since both sides are wearing black hats, let them bleed each other, and as a wise housewife from Wasilla, AK said recently, 'let Allah sort 'em out'.
Hussein was an imperialist aggressor He took over a foreign country. Just invaded it and took it over.
The UN Nd the Vatican are against this proposal as they were not against the Iraq thing
If that had been Bo’s instead of Bush’s there would have been ceremonious, celebratory approval and if this were Bush there’d be arrests and official and appeopriate impeachment charges
This is different
Right. Arthur Vandenburg was sooooo enlightened!
80 is all they need probably
The RINO-Dem Coalition will eke out another “victory”
ACTUALLY IT was a very well written article and presented the alternative point very well...hardly a Pro Obama piece.
Maybe reading the article would help gain perspective on it.
Many of us in the opposition are not isolationists. We are simply against an intervention that would help Al Qaida, the greater evil, when there is no proof that the Syrian government, the lesser evil, did the gassing. As for helping the Free Syrian Army, our efforts to help them are likely to end-up like our efforts to help the South Vietnam, Cambodia, and Afghanistan.
I wonder what would have happened if the US had never entered WWI?
WWII we HAD to enter, since both Germany and Japan declared war on the US.
Regarding Syria, “isolationist” does not apply. This is a civil war. It really is NONE of our business. The moral outrage on the TYPES of weapons used to kill people is so cute. It is also laughable.
Corporate America always want globalism and dicarding Patriotism. Any sentiment that opposes it threatens their unabash ability to make money even if it creates problems that are dumped on the US taxpayer. Syria is a test of power as Americans sick of cost and blood for an American empire vs the corporation/sociopaths who want Empire America so they can enrich themselves.
Good post. Very few people who respond to an article title have actually read the article.
The fact is that we have NO interest in Syria except for the idea that all sides in the conflict inflict as many deaths to each other as possible. Best case scenario is that all but one guy is left in the country and he dies from the flue.
We are NOT isolationist... show us a Constitutional need for WAR... a real threat against us or our staunch allies... or if we are attacked... we want to declare war... totally destroy our enemies and then come home... no mercy, no quarter and no nation building... and even NUKES if needed... we no longer want to fight for our enemies or try to bring civilization to satan’s people. Savvy leftards?????
I think Cruz summed it up best when he said we would become Al Qaeda’s air force.
I know, it is not isolationist to not want to jump into someone’s civil war
People throw words around and others don’t define their terms
"Isolationism" served our nation very well. It made us the strongest and most free nation on earth.
and that is because we never FINISH a war like we did with WWII...we “leave and call it peace.”—Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq...etc.
Given the size of our national debt and the fact that we already effectively bankrupt-—I don’t know what the debate is all about-—isolationism versus internationalism-—we have no choices IMHO. We’re flat broke. Close to bankrupt.
To hell with Middle East. Let’s develop our own plentiful resources. Maybe we could put some people back to work in decent paying jobs and retire some of our massive debt in the process.
Yeah, I miss those days. No electricity, or running water . . . and if you need to get somewhere you rode a horse.
As a proud Bob Taft conservative, I’d be happy to use our power in our national interest, but we have none here.
