We are doing precisely that: Pursuing a policy of nonparticipation in international political relations Not at all. We negotiate, we make treaties, we act in the world. Isolationism is trying to keep the whole world at bay, to not go out in the world and to not let the world in. We have enormous amounts of trade with the world. We participate in the world economically, politically and militarily. like sending Bolton to the UN to shove his fist into the institution's face. Isolationism, would be to "get the US out of the UN and the UN out of the US", or barring that to give it so little attention that we wouldn't care to bother to send someone like Bolton. Even if sending Bolton is "shoving a fist in the institution's face" (and I think that's a questionable statement), shoving a fist in their face is the opposite of isolationism. Tim
