So when we hear patriotic-sounding voices calling for war, we ought to ask who really wants war, who stands to benefit from it, and why. Time and again the most genuinely patriotic people – derided by the elites as "heartland isolationists" – have had the real interests of America at heart.

Let's see, practically every poll taken since 9/11 says that a majority of Americans support (i.e. want) war and if I'm remembering right, polls also indicate that a majority of Americans want us to take out Saddam Hussein. Who stands to benefit from it: American citizens.

If Mr. Rockwell were to have his way, we would lose several thousand MORE American citizens at the hands of Saddam Hussein and his thugs before taking out America's enemies in Iraq and elsewhere. How many American citizens would have to die before we would act according to Mr. Rockwell's isolationist standards?

How many would have died if we were staying home to begin with?

When has Iraq attacked America and why do we have so many enemies?
