Why The Neutralist? The term Isolationist implies a narrow Fortress America outlook and is used as an epithet. The term Neutralist does not indicate someone hiding out from the world. No one calls the Swiss isolationists. The Wilsonian world view is old, tired and wrong. Our interventions have been less and less successful and now the failure can no longer be covered up.

Saudi Arabia gets a pass and Doug Bandow asks why

 Saudi Arabia is a tyranny of vast proportions and yet it has love in certain American circles.  If you asked your garden variety progressive if we should have ever had diplomatic relations with the German National Socialist regime, they would probably say no.

If you ask should we have them with Saudi Arabia, you would probably draw a blank.  Over time, it can be argued the KSA regime is worse, but none of the cool kids are going to over-worry about it, just as Julian Assange is not a thing for them.

Doug Bandow is not asleep, however.  He looks at the love that is being given to the kingdom:
