But then, when was the last time we were isolationist? 1936 or so? We were by no means isolationist during he Clinton years...he stuck his head in everywhere.

Perhaps 9/11 was a reality check that isolationism DOES work...but we have never tried it...

Just a thought...

Well, you can have your beliefs, and I can have mine.

I think that history is on my side.

[sal002]

Where we isolationist in 2001?

[Grampa Dave]

Take you arguments to someone younger and dumber?

Libertariaism 101 doesn't work with me!

[Grampa Dave]

Darn fingers don't work too well today, should have been: Take your arguments

I apologize. I was just wondering because you said "history is on your side". Since something wrong happened on 9/11, that would mean to me to say that the cause must have been factual. If isolationism was the cause, as you seem to insinuate, then it would have needed to have been a fact.

Since we were not isolationist, I fail to see how isolationism caused 9/11.

In related news, we're still waiting for Arafart to take action against the Palestinian terror-scum.

[I'm ALL Right!]

Sigh...what ever happened to the idea of isolationism? I long for the day when we can tell those in the Middle East - "heh...it's your problem...take care of it. We don't want to waste the money."

I agree with your sentiment. Reality is (in my best Dana Carvey, Bush Sr. Voice) "Not gonna do it!"

PING!
