Obama's Pastor: damn America, U.S. to Blame for 9/11

That's so true though. If Obama was white and his and his adviser was a minister at a "white church" Sharpton, Jackson, NAACP and the media would destroy the guy to the point his campaign would be over.

I agree that it reflects badly on Obama that someone in his inner circle has these views, but you can't ask Obama to defend someone else's views, or what someone else says.

But when you look at the actual position the minister is taking and not his rhetoric, he's basicly saying that the U.S. interventionist foreign policy has done more to create terrorism then actually stop it. It's already been said by Ron Paul.

In my mind, that's not even the point. It's not the fact that he may or may not share the opinion of his Pastor. . . It's that he clearly condoned the viewpoint for 20 years and is only now rejecting it.

I assume your referring to "splendid isolationism" before the start of World War II, which is the problem with your argument. Basicly comparing Germany's threat to conquer the world to Iraq, a country that was a beaten nation after the persian gulf war in the late 90's. Iraq was no world threat, and the U.S. could have made it a parking lot whenever they chose to.

You should read a history book..."Splendid isolationism" was Wilson's stance prior to WWI.

Look, I am not arguing against Britain's foreign policy in the 19th Century. However, to try to imply that Wilson not only adopted the "splendid isolation" policy, but was very firm and staunch in his reluctance to involve the US in any way, whatsoever, is undeniable (which is categorically opposite of FDR's meddling in the Japanese sphere of power as well as supporting the Brits well before our overt entry into the European fight.)
