Tim, <we expended lives in Korea when probably had Korea been conquered it would now be moving towards freedom on its own (the DPRK was only able to maintain its isolationism and ideological purity because it had China and the USSR as sponsors, because it was geographically more isolated, and because it had a focus of hatred).> I'm not going to argue whether it was worth thousands of American lives just to defend Korea. You make the assumption that a conquered Korea would now be moving towards freedom (a curious assumption even in light of your following statement on how the DPRK existed for so long). I can make an assumption that the Korean War was all a part of containing communism, which helped contribute to its downfall. Then we can shout at each other ad nauseum, but you and I don't have the time nor the energy for that. Let me just make my original point, then a few more points and leave it at that. I am personally very grateful that America was not isolationist during the Korean War. Hence, my heart goes out to every Iraqi citizen who is freed from the control of a madman. <You say that the Constitution is not relevant the way it was in Washington's time.> No, I did not, and you continue to put words into my mouth. I recognize Washington warned against "entangling alliances." And his warning carried with it a lot of wisdom for its time. But I don't see the relationship between Washington's warning and the Constitution, for nothing in the Constitution suggests that America should be isolationist. <This is what happens when we let third worlders and their parents immigrate to our country and spread this kind of ignorance.> Ironic how you mention ignorance ... but never mind.

OT ... tcmay, re "This is what happens when we let third worlders and their parents immigrate to our country and spread this kind of ignorance." I'd rather have an ignorant neighbor than a prejudiced one. Ignorance can be overcome with education. Overcoming prejudice is much more difficult. Regards, Ron

Tim, You always make some very good and very bad points, usually in the same post. re: This is what happens when we let third worlders and their parents immigrate to our country and spread this kind of ignorance. Immigration has always been the engine of growth for this country. Unless you are a native American, you owe your place in the world to our (usually) liberal immigration policy. John
