Good. Then let's follow what the first President of these United States said. Pull out of NATO, SEATO, the UN, and every other treaty we've entangled ourselves in.
The great rule of conduct for us in regard to foreign nations is, in extending our commercial relations to have with them as little political connection as possible. So far as we have already formed engagements let them be fulfilled with perfect good faith. Here let us stop.--George Washington
Well, too late for that I guess. Might as well muck around as the world's policeman. BTW, has anyone heard how North Korea is doing on those nuclear missiles that can possibly reach the borders of these United States? And Iraq has missiles that go 110 miles? I know there's something in the owner's manual to this nation of states about defending our borders. Oh well, just some old nonsense right?
Ahhh, someone spoiling for a fight without the time to address their beefs to the proper threads. Bringing North Korea and treaties and leaky borders and isolationist ideas and a simmering attitude to a thread about Iraq. Topics which, by the way, I too have doubts about but you seem to have made the assumption I didn't. Oh well, here we go.
Okay, billbears, what would you suggest we do? You say we should get out of every treaty we've entangled ourselves in. Okay, fine. Then what? The topic of this thread was . . . Can Iraq Hit America? If we get out of every treaty, regardless of whether they affect the Iraq situation or not, will "potential" Iraqi terrorists leave us alone then?
That's all I addressed in my post and I don't want to waste time debating issues with you that we probably agree on. So . . . what problems do you have with my take on the Iraq issue?
