Israel First?

No, I merely heed the advice of Winston Churchill - advice proven correct after the folly of Munich that occured in 1938:

"If you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed, if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly, you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a small chance of survival. There may even be a worse case: you may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves."

Or, as Patrick Henry put it:

"There is no longer any room for hope. If we wish to be free--if we mean to preserve inviolate those inestimable privileges for which we have been so long contending--if we mean not basely to abandon the noble struggle in which we have been so long engaged, and which we have pledged ourselves never to abandon until the glorious object of our contest shall be obtained--we must fight! I repeat it, sir, we must fight! ... Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"

We have no other honorable option. We must ally ourselves with those nations that share our ideals, and have the courage to stand for them. We should provide them with aid. If that is not sufficient, we should be the arsenal of freedom and liberty. And if that is not sufficient, then we have no other honorable course but to fight for the very ideals that men risked their lives for in what is now known as Independence Hall on that hot July afternoon in 1776 when the outcome was far from certain.

I'll stand with the likes of Churchill, Jefferson, and Henry over Pat Buchanan and Ron Paul.
