Dis-engagement From Islam November 16, 2007

Will Grigg's Liberty Minute

November 16, 2007

In his justly famous Farewell Address, George Washington urged Americans to embrace a foreign policy based on American independence and non-intervention in the affairs of others:

?The great rule of conduct for us in regard to foreign nations is... to have with them as little political connection as possible.?

America enjoys what Washington called a ?detached and distant situation? that permits us to remain aloof from foreign conflicts.

The same principles apply to conflicts arising with radical Islam. Steven LaTulippe, a retired Air Force officer, notes that ?The United States of America is the only major world power that is not forced by geography into a conflict with ... Islam.? Although well-suited as as ideology of conflict, radical Islam is not a viable governing ideology, LaTulippe continues, and ?is destined, like communism before it, to collapse from within.?

Accordingly, he concludes, we should defer to Washington's wisdom by withdrawing from the Middle East and establishing a posture of non-belligerency in Islam's civilizational wars.

Let us take back the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free.
