| | WorldNetDaily: Buchanan `isolationism` is a myth (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07) |
 | | Taken at face value, an "isolationist" politician is one who prefers to concentrate more on domestic issues rather than emphasize and allocate resources to foreign policy. |
 | | By that definition, President Bill Clinton campaigned as an isolationist when he proclaimed, in 1991, that his candidacy was all about domestic issues, especially "the economy, stupid." Clinton rode into the White House -- twice -- largely because he pledged to concentrate more on the ills of this country instead of problems overseas. |
 | | Buchanan's so-called "isolationist" missive is nothing more than an admonishment to the powers that be to disengage the foreign policy autopilot, think about the ramifications of every decision, weigh them against the needs or benefits to the United States, and examine whether or not our constitutional form of government gives us the authority to intervene. |
