This is an invitation to post quotes that you think are words of wisdom.
I found the following and many more by googling "founding fathers' war quotes".
"Observe good faith and justice toward all nations. Cultivate peace and harmony with all... The Nation which indulges toward another an habitual hatred or an habitual fondness is in some degree a slave. It is a slave to its animosity or to its affection, either of which is sufficient to lead it astray from its duty and its interest ... Tis our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliances, with any portion of the foreign world." - George Washington, Farewell Address, 17 Sept. 1796.
We have forgotten our history and the wisdom of what Washington said.**We have allied ourselves with specific nations and have assumed thiese alliances natural, as well as treating those not so historically allied with the US as inferior and properly subject to our domination.**We have adopted the imperialist mentality and behaviors of those we are allied with, and know not that Baghdad was constested over since before WWI, not that the mid east, was divide by Britain for Britian's own purpose, disregarding the needs of the people who shared this land.**The war are we in with mid east is not made by Arabs or Muslims, but by the West that covets their land and resources.**This has compromised our national intregity.
