Here is a link to an infamous speech given by Charles Lindbergh in support of the America First Committee's efforts to keep us out of World War II:

I couldn't help noticing how his words fit well into today's dilemma - should we be waging war on Russia, Syria, Iraq, Iran ... or on anyone, for that matter?
One can argue that the Nazis HAD to be stopped (just like ISIS and al-Qaeda HAVE to be stopped), but we need to ask a very important question about all three - "why didn't we stop them in their infancy instead of HELPING them to grow into the monsters they eventually became?" None of them would have thrived without the support given to them by the powers that be in the US and UK.
If "isolationism" means not funding monsters that justify and feed our war machine, then I'm all for it.
Fix America First !!!
