****America stand with her allies. If they are attacked we will respond in kind. Iran threatens to eliminate Israel and if given the opportunity will do so. Israel has told the EU and the UN that they will not allow Iran to create the very weapon that threatens their very existence. Allowing Israel to act alone against Iran is very very bad for the US, our allies and the world. Ron Paul can shove his head in the sand, and up Soros’s and his kind’s ass for all I care. He will never be president, and thank God for that****

You seem to forget that our founders didn’t want any entangling alliances.

Entangling alliances are what started WW I. One guy got killed by anarchists and millions of soldiers died because of that. Do you really think the arch duke Ferdinand was worth all that?

In the Western Hemisphere, we have had very little of the wars that have plagued the Eastern Hemisphere for 1,000’s of years. Yeah, the Aztec’s and Inca’s had empires, but not to the extent of the Eastern Hemisphere. We’ve had a war or so with Mexico and Canada, but the western hemisphere has been on the whole rather peaceful. Of course, the US pretty much wiped out the indians, in north America. In the late 1800’s we could have easily defeated Mexico and probably Canada, but we didn’t.

If we were a belligerent nation, we could easily have controlled all of North America. Now our foreign policy seems to be that we can control all the world.

I don’t think that is in our best interests.

I don't think that's even a partially accurate statement. We thought (as did almost every other civilized nation) that Saddam Hussein had WMD. I understand that isolationists think that WMDs cannot breach the invisible Constitutional wall around the United States, but that's naivete on display. Thus our involvement in Iraq. If you want to believe that we made up things to go into Iraq, you have to believe that the rest of the world was a willing participant in the farce. Hard to swallow.

You mean like the entangling alliance with France that won us our independence?

Funny the "founding fathers" felt so strong about entangling alliances that they didn't even bother to prohibit it in the Constitution or Bill of Rights.
