JF, Cultural, geopolitical, military would be easy. Economic we are intertwined... but that doesn't mean it has to dominate political policy.

All of these factors are interdependent. How are we going to separate our economic needs from the geopolitical mess if our oil money is feeding the sheiks at the expense of the average Arab? How are going to block any cultural influences when capitalism is seen not as an economic system, but as the tool of the Great Satan? If military influence is a no-no, then why were you supportive of the first Gulf War, assuming you were?

I'm saying, what would happen if we let it go? Let the rest of the world evolve as it will, instead of covertly (or overtly) trying to impose our will?

The only way to be consistent in this philosophy is to adopt the Pat Buchanan isolationist doctrine.
