If you look back in history you'll see a common trend. We as a nation have gone through many periods of what is called isolationism. Prior to our late entry into WWII, you could say our foriegn policy was a policy of isolationism. There is an argument that we entered the war far to late and could have saved many lives if we entered earlier.

Now we are in a far different possision. In the past we could provide for ourselves. We made our own cars and had an industrial based economy. Now our people want to revert to isolationism but the world has changed and is changing. For the better in some areas and in others we are repeating the same mistakes.

I was in the service for over nine years and saw endless cut backs. At the same time I saw our new enemy growing and becoming more powerull on the world seen. Fuck Iraq and Iran, they are small turkeys. Hit the bomb making factories and nuclear labs with some good old American made cruise missiles and the problem of our men and women on the ground can be fixed. An occupanion takes alot of man power and is usually a logistics nightmare. Get our people off the ground let our technology stretch it's legs.

Back to the real enemy. Yes, somebody has to say it on this thread. People it is China. They are not our freind and will always hate us. My father had to deal with them in North Korea and my uncles killed them in Laos and Vietnam. Can't we learn from our mistakes. Isolationizm is not going to work and neither is an occupation.

If you look really close at the signs. I see the rug getting ready to be pulled out from under our feet with the help of our government.
