[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: [QB] This guy's sentiment was shared by most americans-and congress- just prior to Pearl Harbor. It's isolationism and it no longer works for any superpower. Our foreign intrests are so varied that we'll be pulled into any ongoing conflict (either via diplomacy or the military)to resolve it as long as another superpower is not already handling the situation. The other side of this guy's argument would come out if we did nothing (as in Bosnia)while the deathtoll mounts untill the press flip-flops and begins asking why [i]are'nt[/i] we doing anything to help.....then we get involved (as the press sways public support in favor of resolving the crisis)and suffer months or years of the world's fingerpointing and recriminations about how we did nothing for months as civillians died. :rolleyes: It's always easier to resolve a bad situation at it's begining instead of after it spirals beyond all control.
