Me? Actually, I tend towards the isolationist position. I thought Slick was MUCH to eager to send those boys he despised so heartily into harm's way. Those were American lives he was ending.

Let's take his last adventure, Yugoslavia, as an example. It was in the Europeans back yard. Yet they sat there for years just watching it and doing nothing. If they didn't care about it, I see no reason we should.

The US, like any other nation, has the right to defend it. We need not go looking for trouble. If it wants us, it know where we are. If some other nation wants to have a civil war, so be it. When they're sick of dying, they'll stop.
