OK, History:

Modern global interventionism stems from Woodrow Wilson, especially the democracy-spreading kind.

The Prior to 2001, the Right almost opposed every major foreign intervention, from WWI, to WWII, to Korea, and somewhat Vietnam (Nixon vowed to pull troops out of Vietnam during the election), but not the Gulf War. Probably supported the Gulf War because we were in office.

The right opposed the WWII after Pearl Harbor. Smoke another one there for us, will ya. ANd it was the LEFT, genius, that pulled the plug on Vietnam.

Because we shouldn’t have fought the Huns in WWI we should never fight an anemy again.
BTW, it wasn’t the war in 1918 that was the problem, it was the treaty of Versailles that caused the problems.

My many neighbors who were fresh out of the camps with their numbers tatted on their arm would not have lost so many of their families and they themselves suffer if the world would have gone after Hitler in the mid late 1930s before things got worse.

This is what we are doing today and this is our last chance.

The world rather let the cancer spread than stop it quick with less deaths.
