It seems like we get into a lot of mess, because we are meddling in other's affairs. Do you think being isolated and working on our own domestic problems will help US become much stronger economically and militarily?

Well I finally agree with a Liberal...wow...that is crazy...I think we should only focus on what goes on in our Hemisphere...we can get everything we need here...let Europe, Africa, and Asia handle their own problems...we need to stabilize South America and Latin America before we give a flip about Africa...there are just as many poor starving people in South and Central America...why isn't American Idol giving money to them? Why isn't Bragelina adopting children there or even her in the US...

Even when we were "isolationist" we still stuck our nose everywhere. Between the Spanish American war and WWII, we fought in the Caribean islands, Spain, China and Burma, Russia (yeah, we fought the Bulshiviks during their revolution), a whole freakin' world war. We instigated the civil war that created Panama, brokered a peace treaty between Japan and Russia, and sent arms and equipment to the British before our involvement in both world wars. No, we can't be isolationist. If we do that, not only have our enemies won, but we've lost.

Well, in short we shouldn't, because other nations will fill the void and who knows what will happen.
But in general, all nations should adhere to a modest form on Isolationism and let other peoples be what they want.
I think a better foreign policy for us would be to focus on our hemisphere first. Lets clean up the crap in our own backyard before well help others in theirs.

THE DOMINANT concept GUIDING US FORIEGN coverage contained in the era AFTER international conflict 2 could be DIVIDED INTO 2 substantial categories, fairly CONTAINMENT ( OF THE risk OF COMMUNISM ) , AND UNIPOLARITY (AFTER the autumn OF THE SOVIET UNION ). before 1962 , THE SOVIET UNION attempted TO RETALIATE by utilising SPREADING the sturdy factors OF ITS POLITICS - AN attempt that finally extra approximately ITS DISINTEGRATION.

How do you think WWII started? It was because our isolationism and the punitive peace we forced upon Germany that started WWII.

though I think we need a greater focus on ourselves and the problems we have.. isolationism is just another extreme.. and extremism never works... in the last case it made it easier on Hitler to get his foothold on Europe.

Yes, not completely isolated, but we need to ease off a bit...

I wouldn't mind. The hard right may complain that the corporations may make 5% less profits or something.

Isolationism is one extreme. What we're doing now is the opposite extreme. Our best course is somewhere in between.

seems like we should, but much of our economy depends upon the state of global affairs.
speaking of global affairs, we live in a global community now.
as peoples we were tribes, then city-states, then nations, now its a global community.
