If, over ninety years ago, we stuck to the Founding Fathers' non-interventionist foreign policy and kept our noses out of Europe:
America should have minded her own business and stayed out of the World War. If you hadn’t entered the war the Allies would have made peace with Germany in the Spring of 1917. Had we made peace then there would have been no collapse in Russia followed by Communism, no breakdown in Italy followed by Fascism, and Germany would not have signed the Versailles Treaty, which has enthroned Nazism in Germany. If America had stayed out of the war, all these ‘isms’ wouldn’t to-day be sweeping the continent of Europe and breaking down parliamentary government, and if England had made peace early in 1917, it would have saved over one million British, French, American, and other lives.
Those were the words of Winston Churchill in 1936.
Unfortunately, however, ol' Winston conspired with FDR to get our country back into the European war.

Well, Folks, Here's A Comment On....
The sad state of affairs as far as this year's presidential campaign is concerned:
This leaves us with what the 2008 presidential election has become: a plebiscite on political correctness. Are we to elect a "woman" or a "black" as president, or are we to continue electing "old, white men" to this office? Minds that have been conditioned by government schools and television to awaken or go to sleep on cue, will be asked to stumble into voting booths to select the image - not principles - that best suits them. Keep in mind that this process will have absolutely nothing to do with how the government will operate: that decision was made a long time ago by the corporate owners of the Establishment. The election will be as relevant to your life as the outcome of an "American Idol" contest. The upcoming "debates" will be as empty-headed as the inquiries made of beauty contestants: "if you had but one wish, . . ."
This makes one wish that states start seceding from the union---due haste.

Why In Sam Hill...........
Is this country still occupying Germany and Japan after more than six decades?
Let's hope he really can explain what interests require us to maintain troops in Germany and Japan 63 years after the end of the war. What exactly is the purpose of those troops? Are we expecting the Mongols to descend on Japan? Does he expect the Cossacks will ride across the plains to attack Europe? Does he think that two of the greatest economic powers on Earth – Japan and Europe – are too poor to defend themselves? The old boy is living in the past.
When American politicians talk about strategic interests, they are talking about just what I called it, manure. We have no strategic interests in the Middle East whatsoever. We wish to buy oil there. Last time I checked, those countries that produce oil were selling it to any country willing to buy it, whether that country had troops in the area or not. Since oil isn't edible, there's not a heck of a lot you can do with it if you don't sell it.
Hey, Senator McDoubletalk, why are you pretending to be an expert?

Pro Libertate: The Dollar Falls, The Predators Awaken
Pro Libertate: The Dollar Falls, The Predators Awaken
Our monetary system, still one more victim of one of the worst periods in American history, the Progressive Era (which to degree brought fascism to America).

The Words of Senator McMussolini....
That is, Senator McCain, and Lew Rockwell's take.
