What do you think Washington and Jefferson meant when they warned us to avoid entanglements in the affairs of other countries? Do you think we should be giving billions of our dollars to Egypt? Why?
The balance of your frothing is not worthy of reply. No substance.
The world and the U.S. were drastically different at that time. The only major countries the U.S. was likely to become "entangled" with were Britain and France, who were involved in warfare almost continuously for decades at a time, particulary in the time period of Washington, Adams, & Jefferson. There were factions in this country who advocating siding with Britain or France. That's the context in which those founders made their statements. Had they meant an absolute, enduring ban on "entanglements," they could have specified it in the Constitution. Taking Washington out of context is like the liberals' endlessly citing Jefferson out of context as allegedly advocating a "wall of separation between church & state."
Let's see, the Muhammadens demanded an increase in the "tribute" money (which we had been paying for years) and Jefferson said no. They cut down the flag pole at the US Consulate, so Jefferson sent troops in.
In comparison, Iran seized the American Embassy in Tehran and kept Americans hostage for 444 days.
Then on September 11, 2001, Islamofascists killed 3000 Americans on American soil.
Yet, Ron Paul doesn't consider our actions against Islamofascist terrorist just.
