Vietnam: napalm and agent orange, birth defects still occurring from this 40 years later. Iraq, depleted uranium, causing cancer in children and american military personnel. why is the u.s. fighting what was traditionally a french and russian war? consider the wasted resources and how they could be used here within the country where currently 37% of the population is born out of wedlock. Would it not be better to be more isolationistic, and spend the money on the public good inside of our own society?

let me get this straight ... you want to be isolationist in a world where crazy dictators are building atomic bombs and ICBMs, other crazy dictators are making chemical and biological weapons, and you think they're going to leave you and yours alone after they do a Zimbabwe on their own economy?
what have you been smoking?

The United States is already a diplomatically isolationist country. How many of our leaders travel to foreign countries to promote trade? Ron Paul is for a non-interventionist foreign policy. We don't attack countries that are not a threat to us. Instead we promote trade and set a good example to the world.

Ron Paul will be the next president. He is not however an isolationist. Dr. Paul just believes, as do I, that the United States should lead the world by example, not by force of arms.

I am for getting America back on track to take care of
Americans First. Isolation? Yes, up to a point. We have just given away too much of the store. It's time to Get to work on
putting America back on top of the International Standings.
We will never get back our Greatness as long as people
elect someone like Georgie Boy.

Clinton's are CFR and Bilderberg Group=pro-war.
Dr. Paul is for non-intrusive actions in foreign relations.

Ron Paul wants us to go back to our Constitutional roots and not meddle in International affairs.
He is however for free international trade.
He really is the only choice.
he is the only one with refreshing NEW ideas, not just spouting the same rhetoric that everyone else does.
Vote for the Champion of the Constitution RON PAUL!

Perhaps you need to study both US & world history to see what happened to isolationist countries during the first & second world wars.

I would say that isolationism is a good thing; it did lead to over 20 million deaths in World War II.

Ron Paul and Hillary Clinton are irrelevant candidates for the General Election. Its a waste of time to deal with any scenario.
