This interventionist foreign policy makes us more vulnerable to things like 9/11

*Banging head on monitor*

Begging your pardon, but are you really so ignorant in understanding we actually did have a non-interventionist policy before we were hit on 9/11? Do you really not understand that since 9/11 and we have had an interventionist policy we have not been hit with another 9/11 type attack?

Ron Paul is a moron when it comes to foreign policy, and so are his followers.

We have not had a non-interventionist foreign policy for over 50 years. Sometimes the intervention has been more obvious and exaggerated, other times less so.

As to why we have not have another 9/11 type attack, I don't know all of the reasons for that happy circumstance. I am sure that is it due to a number of reasons, including the fact that Americans are now aware of the terrorist threat and can be counted on to do their part to repel another such attack.

As I have stated, I would not call our initial invasion of Iraq as an initiation of force, but as defensive and legitimate retaliatory use of force. But then you are obviously too ignorant and too much a moron to engage in a reasoned discussion of foreign policy.[return gratuitious insult]
