of other nations, taking care of our own probelms, abolishing aid to other countries, and allowing others to run their own affairs, just buy their oil and products in an open market? If we did would terrorist groups and countries still be a threat to our national security?

Our nation would be better off if we followed George Washington's advice: Beware of foreign entanglements. This is called Isolationism by Liberals and New-Cons, but it really isn't. We can trade with other nations, and our people can interact with the people of other nations, but we need to keep our government from getting involved in foreign wars, and secret agreements.
If we did this, we wouldn't be the subject of terrorist attacks. Then the politicians would have no reason to burden us with the Patriot Act, and the rest of the Nazi-style "anti-terrorist" legislation. And naturally, we need to withdraw from the United Nations, the world center of terrorism.
Throw out the globalists, and we can live in peace and freedom.

If you believe that terrorists are only threatening the west because of interference. As a general rule I do believe that we have committed some atrocious acts in our foreign policy, but I do not accept that terrorists only hate us for this reason. This goes against their own stated reasons which are rooted in religious ideology. American interventionist policy does not come anywhere close to explaining all the terrorists attacks in the world. We could adopt the policy you suggest and what would happen is that we might enjoy a few relatively trouble free years, but what would happen when Israel was eradicated? I for one cannot honestly believe that they would be satisfied at that point. Radical Islamics will only be happy when all other religion and dissension against Islam is destroyed. I am all for abolishing foreign aid though. Especially to the countries which profess to hate us, but have no problem accepting our money.
