As a matter of fact, conservatism IS about holding to that which is timeless and good.

Describe exactly what is good about covering ones eyes and ears in an isolationist mode and pretending that so long as one doesn't actually acknowledge that radical islam wants us all dead that there is no danger.

Those that founded the country didn't have to worry about an insidious enemy coming over here with a suitcase nuclear weapon or some sort of biological or chemical weapon that could kill literally millions.

Not doing anything at all and simply waiting for someone to set off a nuclear/chemical/ biological weapon.

Because the british, like the romans actually tried to build an empire. They set out to claim land, plant their flag, and actually hold that land for generations rather than free people, help them establish governments that could look after the people and not threaten their neighbors.

I have looked at history extensively. If you had taken your own advice and looked at history, you would know that there is no corelation between our intervention in the middle east and the very real attempt by the british to build an empire.
