1. I consider myself Isolationist now
We have enough problems at home that need to be dealt with, the world can look after itself. Unless there is a clear and present danger against us, thats the only time our military should be used.

2. I'm not siding with bushco here but if we let things
escalate elsewhere it could come to us in a big way. However, we do need to use good judgement and evaluate if the intelligence we are basing our soldiers lives on is valid.

4. no, not a pacifist (other)
if violence is thrust upon us by a tyrannical junta and illegal government, it is our civic duty to resist.

i wd never again fight for an elitist class, as i did in viet nam. slaying my foreign brothers & sisters w/in my class for the amusement and profit of robber barons wd be treason to the species.
