What do we do? Which is worse isolationism or global socialism? There is no alternative to these choices in American politics.

Isolationism is far worse. We have already been down that road. Anybody who has a vestigial memory of Pearl Harbor can tell you where isolationism leads. Our enemies will conspire against us no matter where we hide -- whether it's on our own soil or someone else's. Better to take the fight to them than cower on our own soil and wait for them to attack us here.

"Better to take the fight to them than cower on our own soil and wait for them to attack us here."

Well that is certainly the debate. We aren't taking the fight to them. We are becoming them.
