Actually our founders wasn’t isolationist. Washington meant not to get involved in the French Revolution also at the time Washington was President, we had little or no military. Before he died he was ready to lead a army against a possible war against France. So he wasn’t isolationist. We tried isolationism in 30’s and it didn’t work. Plain and simple. Plus Obama’s hatred of Israel is why I think that Pat likes Obama..
No one wants France and America to be joined at the knee.
God help the world if that ever happens.
The problem is how the special relationship has affect the UK,not if it was beneficial for the United States,it is a country that is still bitter about America’s late entry in both World wars.
Angered because of a War on terror that has seen so many of their young,under-equipped young men die while American liberals go on about with their movies and other trash.
The British view on Israel is also way too hardline to be comfortable with the American view.
There are other countries in Europe then France/UK.The EU is not necessarly a good thing but it is not the worst Europe has to offer.
Again a special relationship benefits both,which is what makes it special.Not special in a Hank Johnson way but in mututal beneficial way.
