noch lebendig? Sie sind wie übliche ausgebreitete Lügen und Gift. Gus, was es nehmen würde, um Sie loszuwerden? Möglicherweise sollten Sie zum Tod sich erdrosseln und uns alle freigeben?

Isolationism is the pejorative twentieth-century term used for America's traditional noninvolvement in European wars and avoidance of "entangling alliances." It assumed the United States' interests and values were different from and superior to those of Europe and held that America could lead the world toward freedom and democracy more effectively through example than through military action. Isolationists, however, never favored cutting off the United States from the rest of the world, nor did they rule out the possibilities of American expansion - territorial, commercial, financial, ideological, or military - particularly in the Western Hemisphere, the Pacific, and East Asia. myhistory.org

Those groups who are actively involved in foreign policy today, Kissinger argues, often break down into hyperidealists, who believe ''America has the appropriate democratic solution for every other society regardless of cultural and historical differences,'' or hypernationalists, who peddle the notion that the Soviet Union was brought down simply because of Ronald Reagan's assertiveness, not by a bipartisan foreign policy of containment that spanned nine administrations. These hypernationalists maintain that ''the solution to the world's ills is American hegemony -- the imposition of American solutions on the world's trouble spots by the unabashed affirmation of its pre-eminence.'' In today's complex international system, Kissinger insists, you cannot have an American foreign policy that is based on the United States as either the world's social worker or the world's schoolmarm, ruler in hand. It requires a blend of the two, with a large dollop of humility and caution in between about what can and cannot be imposed on the world; it requires an appreciation for American traditions of exceptionalism, with a constant eye to the circumstances in which those traditions can be brought to bear. syninfo.com

The Internet is perceived as the most recent and most pernicious form of the U.S.-led cultural imperialism. The words that the average French person would use to describe the Internet are probably "useless," "complicated," and "another tool of American cultural imperialism" (Giussani, 1997). Always a popular rallying call, the protection of national cultural identity is being touted as a spur to regulate content on the Internet. France's preferred weapon against cultural imperialism is the imposition of quotas upon the entry of non - European (read American) cultural products. In the recent past, legislation to protect the sanctity of the French language has been enacted. The presence of foreign words in a nation's language was perceived as a contaminating influence. The sanctity of maintaining the purity and integrity of the French language is seen as an essential element in the preservation of France's cultural identity. Jacques Chirac has objected to the fact that 90% of traffic worldwide on the Internet is in English. The magnitude of the risks it apparently poses for French cultural identity are presented as so colossal that regulation is necessary to prevent the dilution of France's Frenchness interculturalrelations.com
