I wonder what Taft’s opinion of NATO would be if he knew we were still chained to it twenty years after the Cold War. He wasn’t against the aim of blunting Soviet aggression, just the means of a treaty that could have an aggressive purpose.
(quote from Taft) “I believe there is only one real hope of peace in the world to come-an association of nations binding itself to abide by a law governing nations and administered by a court of legal justice. Such a judicial finding must not be subject to veto by any nation and there must be an international force to enforce the court’s decree.”
Taft was as delusional as obama and the “international law” crowd...
