What?????
As with so many of these progressive , enlightened thinkers Chris Matthews comes from deep in left field with this comparrison.
HARD BALL .... OR IS IT A WATER BALLOON?
CHRIS MATTHEWS, HOST: "Well, I hate to say it, but you know, it’s their part of the world, not ours and we had a civil war in this country that cost 600,000 dead and they didnt’ come in and get involved in our civil war. Why are we involved in their’s?"
HMMM, WHY DID THEY NOT GET INVOLVED IN OUR CIVIL WAR? LETS SEE CHRIS, FOR ONE IN 1863 THEY MORE THEN LIKELY DIDN'T KNOW WE EXISTED. SECONDLY ON THE WORLD SPHERE THEY DID NOT REGISTER AS A POWER OTHER THEN STILL HAVING PIRATES AND THIEVES ... MUCH LIKE TODAY. THIRD AT THAT TIME IN WORLD HISTORY THEY COULD NOT HAVE CARED LESS ABOUT WHAT WAS HAPPENING IN THE WEST AS IT DID NOT EFFECT THEM. BUSY WITH FIGHTING AMONGST THEMSELVES IN EARLIER CIVIL CONFLICTS OF WHO IS THE BETTER FOLLOWER OF MOHAHMAD.
AS THE ONLY REAL SUPER POWER LEFT, HISTORY SHOWS THAT IT IS THE UNITED STATES THAT HELPS COUNTRIES OUT. IT IS NOT THE U.N. UNLESS FILLED WITH AMERICAN MILITARY AS THIER "PEACE KEEPING" FORCE. LETS FACE IT IF WE WERE NOT THERE TRYING TO FREE THESE PEOPLE FROM TYRANNY AND OPPRESSION , WHILE PROTECTING OURSELVES FROM TERRORISM DOWN THE ROAD WE WOULD STILL GET INVOVLED AS REQUEST OF THE IMPOTENT UNITED NATIONS.
BUT FOR THE EDIFICATION OF THOSE WHO WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WE HAD PLENTY OF INTERFERANCE IN OUR CIVIL WAR. THE FRENCH TRIED TO RUN THE NORTHERN BLOCKADES OF THE SOUTH TO BRING ARMS AND MUNITIONS TO THE CONFEDERACY. THE MEXICAN GOVERNMENT TRIED TO RECLAIM PARTS OF TEXAS BUT TO NO AVAIL AS TEXAS WAS MOSTLY NEUTRAL TO THE WAR AND PROTECTED ITSELF FROM MEXICAN INCURSIONS .... SOMETHING WE NEED TO GET BACK TO. GERMANY,RUSSIA, AND ENGLAND ALONG WITH POLAND SENT WATCHERS AND EVEN ADVISORS TO STUDY, DEPLOY, AND DEVELOPE NEW TACTICS OF WAR.
SO MR. MATTHEWS WE WEREN'T EXACTLY ALONE FIGHTING AMONGST OURSELVES DURING OUR CIVIL WAR. WHICH BY THE WAY WAS OVER STATE VERSUS FEDERAL RIGHTS WITH SLAVERY AS A SECONDARY ISSUE.
