It's not nice to abrogate treaties. Not nice to back out of any contract. You don't sign contracts with the intention of backing out later. Lack of good faith. Better not to sign in the first place.

As for isolationism, I think that piece on CAFTA directly addresses the point. It's not like folks from different countries can't trade without treaties. You shouldn't have to document it.
