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?

Resistance or terrorist? Resistance fights back to keep what is theirs, terrorist fights to disrupt a way of life through terror activity.

Americans (politically speaking) only ever do what’s best for THEIR global interests and as such are making the Globe far less stable. For example: Israel, Iraq, Afghanistan, Global Warming and World Trade. What do you people think?

Texas gave us Bush, and a whole lot of corrupt, redneck politicians.

Remember, Texas has very little redeeming natural beauty.

President Clinton created a government agency to search for bin Laden before he left office. Just a couple of months ago President Bush closed up shop and told everyone to quit looking. Who's this guy (Bush) working for, bin Laden or America?

I am 28, I have always worked BUT I have a very big issue with people who are not willing to work (regardless of nationality/colour/religion) but wish to complain about the small benefits they receive out of tax payers money.

I also have an issue with immigrants who do not need to seek asylum yet (thank you tony blair) see the UK as an easy ride.
In the UK we have old age pensioners who have worked hard and are now struggling and many homeless people - yet immigrants regardless of status seem to get housed prior to nationals.

I don't care what colour someone is BUT if someone is capable of working but prefers or chooses to sit at home claiming benefits I would like to see their benefits stopped completely.

What do you think?

I've never really understood raising the minimum wage. I know that sounds crazy, but if you raise the minimum wage, won't you have to raise everyone else's wage too? I mean, it doesn't seem fair that jobs in fast food are getting a raise when other jobs that require a college degree, like for people in social work or the education field, don't get one. It seems to me that it's a heirarchy and that raising one means you have to raise others too.

...you are probably the type of person who would stand by and watch your sons and daughters get anally raped by Militant Islamists. If it wasn't for the United States, you'd all be wearing Burkas and eating rotten eggs 3 times a day. You people couldn't fight your way out of a paper bag. Get in the game you uneducated losers. Do you deny it?
