In Iraq: Meddling where we don't belong. Not in Darfur: Ignoring helpless victims of mass slaughter.
The most likely outcome of Bush's little adventure in Iraq is a return to isolationism. The Dubai port debacle being a good example of bipartisan agreement on how we should withdraw from the nasty old world.
Perhaps a better term for "isolation" is "exclusive" and "cautious" in a world fraught with increasing danger due to globlization.
There are real reasons not limited to disease, pandemics, and social dysfunction for fixing things at home before we go mercantile and military adventuring to boost our score. Isolationism per se may not be so bad for the American public. alohapolitics.com
