There is a lot of talk on here accusing and confusing TRUE conservatives of anarchy, and or Fascism. I think true conservatism is defined by moderation in all things, especially government. Of coarse, there are times when extreme circumstances require extreme action. However, these are the exceptions, not the rule. Should we re-examine our foreign entanglements? The answer is a provisional yes.

I agree Dan. It also has nothing to do with antisemitism or isolationism etc. Who gets dragged through the mud if they criticize the lobby of some other ally? I'm not buying the "only democracy in the ME" line as an excuse..

It should not be a Provisional Yes. It is an absolute yes. The world has changed since the USSR was astride East Germany and Red China threatened all of the East. Our policies should change to reflect that change.

Why Are We Still on the DMZ?

North Korea has just pulled off an impressive dual feat -- the successful test both of an intercontinental ballistic missile and an atom bomb in the 6-kiloton range.

Pyongyang's ruler, 30-year-old Kim Jong Un, said the tests are aimed at the United States. So it would seem. One does not build an ICBM to hit Seoul, 30 miles away.

Experts believe North Korea is still far from having the capability to marry a nuclear warhead to a missile that could hit the West Coast. But this seems to be Kim's goal.

Why is he obsessed with a nation half a world...
