'Foreign Entanglements'

Quoting Denis Consgrove:

George Washington's farewell address is often inaccurately cited for its famous admonishment: "beware of foreign entanglements." That Mr. Washington did truly not utter those words is not important...

Washington was warning about negotiating noncommercial treaties with European nations. NATO would have been an abomination to him.

Not to mention the CFR, the WTO, the UN, the World Bank, and very probably NAFTA/NASCO, and the SPP/Superhighway "Co-Prosperity Sphere"...

Alas, We are BETRAYED!! Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Madison, and Monroe are spinning in their graves.

President Washington rightly wished to avoid Americans becoming cannon fodder in wars started by our more powerful allies.

What he would have to say about an America more powerful than all the other countries and leading the alliances we can't say. I wonder if he could even have conceived of the power and wealth of the country today.

On that basis I think it is unwise to assume that he would retain his opinion about foreign alliances and consortia.

Absolutely not. This is not the best running book ever. And it was unfair for me to suggest so rhetorically in the headline. Sorry.

However: I can say with some confidence that this is the best running book ever to include advice on bestsellers book passing gas and an illustration of a guy getting a tattoo. (Those are on separate pages, by the way.)
