This blows the isolationist/pacificist/Buchananite argument out of the water. It does not matter to the enemy what US foreign policy has been or should be. They simply want to destroy us. Therefore we must destroy them first.

Sure does. We haven't heard much from old Pat lately. Last time I looked up he was talking up that tired old "we need to understand what motivates these people" line. Maybe he figured out that at least 92% of the American public wasn't going to buy it. Good riddance as far as I'm concerned. But I'm sure he will be back.

Total garbage on your part. Isolationism doesn't mean not punishing those that hit you first. It means you go around playing Globalist which is the policy you seem to favor which has been a miserable failure.

GO PAT GO! AMERICA FIRST!!!

I think you are exactly right. It really does boil down to this simple statement. My question is, does the rest of America see it that way? Joe six pack might, the media no, the intelligentia maybe. America as a whole? I wish I knew for sure.

If the Anthrax BS gets linked back to Irag, it will be fascinating to see the answer develop.
