Or is it more that they agree with George Washington and Thomas Jefferson on the matter, believing that many 'foreign entanglements' are COUNTER-PRODUCTIVE... and that 'Uncle Sucker is being taken advantage of?

By the way... any military Empire that's financed by the fickle will of foreign central bankers (while meanwhile, the economies of Asia are investing in the industries and jobs of the future) is built on *sand*.

Castles built on sand are likely to become unsustainable when the foreign economic tide rises....
