Those Americans who are called "isolationists" are for the most part not mean, parochial, self-righteous, or scornful of all warring nations. They have a deep pity for the plight of Europe, and a strong desire to help in the common cause getting rid of war. They fully realize that America has a stake in the world, and cannot withdraw behind her shores, and they are forever watchful for the time when America['s strength...
