<< it's an entirely different matter to impose our will or morality all over the globe. >> The problem there is, many people have very low thresholds for what constitutes "imposing". Some would say "saying whatever we like" IS tantamount to "imposing". << the depression had nothing to do with isolationism! >> Read up on the Smoot-Hawley tariff. It wasn't a cause, but it did make it considerably worse than it need have been. << where is "great" britain today? where are the romans today? >> Where will we be in a millennium? Will isolationism prevent it? I doubt it. << we've been doing wrong for so long that we've gone too far to turn back now >> That's not really what I was saying. Unless what you mean by "doing wrong" is "being the most prosperous nation in the history of the world". Whether we choose to share the ingredients of our prosperity with others or not, some people are going to be resentful. That cannot be escaped. But what I don't understand is why you seem so determined to cast the terrorist actions as America's fault??
