You might wanna turn down the volume one or two notches before you listen to this hilarious rant by internet phenomenon "The Guy from Boston". It's not for the politically correct. It's Paulie Walnuts meets Michael Savage. He's so angry about illegal immigration, he can barely see straight.
It would be nice if we could leave the Arab world to their own devices. You look need no further than Darfur to see what happens when the west does nothing to improve the humanitarian situation.
Many liberals are up in arms that we are not doing more to help in Darfur. Many of these same liberals also criticize us as being imperialistic if we do intervene in the Arab world to attempt to improve a given situation. This is the duality and paradox of being a liberal. If we don't intervene we at fault, yet if we do intervene we are being imperialistic.
Isolationists on the far right like Ron Paul and Pat Buchanan at least have a logically consistent argument. They categorically reject the notion of foreign intervention at all for any reason.
Unfortunately, simply hiding within our borders and hoping for the best is also a flawed foreign policy. But at least the isolationists are not trying to have it both ways.
