[Boogieman]

“The President is absolutely correct in posing the question whether we should shed American blood, riches and risk the destruction of our Country over Montenegro.”

The fact that the question is being asked means the alliance isn’t worth a damn. The whole point of the alliance is to assure the enemy that if they cross this line, they will inevitably suffer the consequences. Once you start debating whether you are willing to inflict the consequences, no enemy will take you seriously.

A lot of nice rhetoric, but when it comes down to it, will you sacrifice YOUR children, YOURSELF or take a NUKE because someone "crossed the line" and invaded Montenegro, a country few can find or identify? As long as NATO was the major countries of Western Europe where America had vital interests, it made sense and deterrent was necessary. Now that every little principality wants to scurry and join NATO so America can defend them, while increasing the chances of being drawn into a war.

A LOT has changed since the 1940s when NATO was formed. Taking time to reflect and take stock to decide if it is really STILL in OUR best interests is prudent.
