There are some old line Republican conservatives that do NOT think that the US should be the policeman for the world. I happen to be one of these that feel that the opinion of Washington in his farewell address to beware of foreign entanglements is a pretty good guide to go by.

There were some old line Republican (and Democrat) conservatives that thought, in the the 1930's, that the US could resort to isolationism to protect itself. I think we know what happened then. The only difference today is that the results of isolationism will be FAR worse (such as a nuclear bomb in Washington).

But you will agree that things and circumstances have changed since Washington was President.

Sometimes, you can go to your past and find the answer. Other times, the past is just that... the past.
