Isolationist and noninterventionist views have legitimacy. However, a lot of what we see is just malignant narcism posing as something more noble than it is.
Wariness of intervention often has legitimacy - isolationism is wholly illegitimate.

Well said.
I disagree, ClaireSolt...in the post 9/11 world we live in, I do not believe there is a isolationist or non-interventionalist approach that hurts more that it helps.
I think it is legitmate under the first amendment for someone to have those non-interventionalist or isolationist viewpoints and to express them.
I think those viewpoints do not have legitimacy in a modern world, expecially when so much of our energy and businsess needs originate outside this country.
Just my opininon. I could vote for Congressman Ron Paul (Seeings as how I have people like Marty Meehan, Kennedy and Kerry representing me, voting for a dog turd would be an improvement.)
I totally agree. If it’s the advice of the unsurpassed Washington, I’m all for it.
My reaction to Paul’s comments at the famous debate was that it’s all moot about not getting involved, though. We’re in it now; you can’t just pretend we are not and start playing in 1s and 0s.
