The US was built primary by Western European immigrants. The whole "melting pot" cliche referred to the various European ethnic groups such as the French, Irish, Italian, German, English forming one cohesive American culture. We wouldn't have a health care crisis if not for the waves of third world immigrants looking for a free handout. We are not obligated to allow them entry when we can not afford to take care of them.
Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.
