We have $35 billion worth in trade with them every year. Do YOU think it's fiscally acceptable, in a terrible economy like we have, to flush $35 billion down the toilet?

35 billion isn't worth the American lives and danger to our security. Not to mention, money will be spend at large quantities on the war that ensues.

Being in a trade based alliance does not mean that we need fight battles for other countries. It means we trade. End of, case closed.

It's odd seeing some anarchist non interventionist voluntarists support extremely high level interventionism and warfare for purposes that have nothing to do with defense. Not only on this matter, but similar sentiments were expressed in the thread revolving around the guy who broke Mexican laws in Mexico.
