That's why if you like America being in control of its own economic destiny, you should appreciate America's role on the world stage. An isolationist America risks becoming irrelevant in this world as other nations (including China and India) figure out how to be more dominant world players, and not just economically.

Don't you think that many wars can be won with economics though- and that means no bloodshed. Vietnam and the USSR for example. In the end, economics seems to matter most imo, and its getting to be more significant with the increased globalization of capitalism.

My point is an isolationist America from a military perspective is not terrible as long as it is counterbalanced with a global economy.

Syria for example is one ME country I think will embrace some form of capitalism at some point. Too much outsourced manufacturing going on there for them to fight a war. We know the US military has lost in the past... but the US economy has *never* lost, at least not yet.
