[Lonesome in Massachussets]

I am not an antisemite, but I am an isolationist. I fervently believe that the Spanish-American War was the greatest U.S. foreign policy blunder in our history. The Civil War was unnecessary and led to a thousand worse ills than secession. (And I do oppose slavery, but the Civil War was the least good way to end it.)

If that meddling fool, Wilson, had not gotten us involved in the Great War, there would have been no Hitler, no Treaty of Versailles, no betrayal of promises Wilson made to Germany, and the Europeans would have had to learn to settle their differences among themselves.

All of those things can be debated in ‘what if’ alternative history, however, we don’t have a magic time machine to go back and change things or go forward and figure out all the butterfly effect interstices for our actions, all we have to face what is the reality of what is in front of us.

However, at least you are honest in what you believe. Too many try to hide behind vague political terms like ‘non-intervention’. We could at least have an honest and interesting conversation about it.
