Your policy of intervention certainly has been given a fair try and has failed. Dude, wake the hell up! Interventionism was started when Soviets put nuke tipped rockets in service after Sputnik and continues today with Saddam invading Kuwait and support of international terrorism.
Was the WTC us intervening? Us proselytising unappologeticaly our sense of morals? You need to know the difference between Islam and Christianity, and your own breed of bipolar fear mongering on the altar of anti-interventionism.
I am not a knee jerk non-interventionist though you are apparently a knee jerk interventionist. I would better describe the policy I support as pragmatic defenseism. From a purely pragmatic standpoint, history has shown over and over again, the U.S. should avoid futile campaigns to social engineer every pest-hole on the planet, however, when attacked it should hit back and hit back hard *against those directly responsible." Hence, I supported Dubya's military action against Al Queda. Having said that, the current knee jerk policy of interventionism has failed terribly to make the U.S. more secure and has wasted rescources which could be used for national defense.
I am glad that you have apparently backed off your claim that we have stayed in the Coop....since the hard truth has been that the chickens have been roaming around pell-nell for quite some time.
