MIB:
His opinion was sought because of the B.O.S.'s decision to prohibit military recruiting in the city, a stupid move.
Regardless what one thinks about the Iraq war, the military has had a long history of recruiting at schools and other such venues. One of the reasons our military has been so great is because of the many, many young men and women who willingly put on the uniform.
Oh god - I'm gonna be sick.
I agree with MIB.
There I said it: ptew, ptew, ptew - gotta get bad taste out of my mouth.
Having said that, unless the world is totally turned upside down, it is hardly a liberal position to state isolationist ideals.
The US would be far better off if we didn't consider ourselves the worlds Policeman; and if we invested more time and effort in coalition and consensus building with our allies before undertaking adventuristic military expeditions and boondoggles.
I am slightly surprised: isolationism is traditionally the politics of the conservatives.
