that’s been bullshit since day one. we won our revolution due to an alliance with france. since the late 19th century, we’ve had allies globally.
FDR was a liberal. More liberal than Obama. Practically a socialist. He had no issue with entering into a just war. We should be in Afghanistan. We should have MORE people in Afghanistan. We never should have gone to Iraq. We need to put people (as part of an international coalition) into Georgia and tell Russia to fuck off. I’m not saying we invade Russia or attack Russian targets. we’ve gone so many places in the last century with the stated motive of protecting democracy and freedom. georgia is a secular, democratic nation struggling against a horribly corrupt enemy with one hundred times Georgia’s military resources. An ally, a possible NATO member, and the least corrupt government in the region is under siege, and we’re doing nothing.
i’m not a really big anti-flag fan… punk music gives me a headache.
