<< our nation changing it's views on slavery is not hypocritical. since when did changing one's mind become hypocritical? it only becomes hypocritical when we attempt to tell other nations that they can't do the very same thing we did. >>

That's what I meant. So you're saying if we find a country is still practicing slavery, we can't stand up and say 'that's wrong'?

<< if you ask the liars in our govt it wasn't about oil. >>

Well, then, if you know that that was a lie, we aren't disagreeing.

<< because of interventionism like this we must now pay the price >>

The price of isolationism can be just as dear (see the Great Depression). And anyway, whether some people like it or not, we are the most powerful country in the world, by a pretty fair distance. I don't think we could go back to true isolationism anymore even if we wanted to.
