Doesnt our leadership have an obligation to protect their nations citizenry? Why not allocate resources to protect our 50 states. Isolationist policy doesnt sound so bad when you hear that we've spent 400 billion to destroy and then rebuild Iraq. To arm and then train their military, rebuild their schools etc. Meanwhile American schools, at least those in impoverished areas suffer from overcrowding and other ailments detrimental to the quality of American public education. So, that being said, the status quo which is also the alternative to isolationist foriegn polciy has yielded 2500 dead soldiers and 400 billion dollars with zero improvement or return on investment domestically. Isolationist policy would focus on the defense of our borders and re-allocate precious tax payer dollars to the citizens that live here in America, not to 15 million Iraqi citizens. That being said and compared with the policies we see today..Isolationism doesnt sound so bad. So why are so many against it?
