Socialism my ass. The concerns I mentioned were considerably more typical of the issues which involved this country's founding fathers than your chauvinism. And on the off-chance you think you reflect some glorious Republican tradition, our current president - and even he fluffed his lines - is the first in this country's history to speak in remotely similar terms.

You can however find hundreds of quotations from past US presidents (of both parties) and American military leaders, decrying the ultimate evil and pointlessness of war.
