1. Marc, Obama is not leading us to Isolation he is swapping our old allies with new ones. It is no improvement.
Meanwhile as a Ron Paul Republican I think disentanglement is not such a bad idea. Once we get out of obsolete positions in Europe and Korea, the Islamist threat will become clearer. I do not think the current permutations of the Bush GWOT initiative will do any thing but waste time, money and life. IMO we should be telling those in power in the middle east that if the effort is to make the US submit or die, we won’t. Plus this is a prime condition for opening a Frontier. Do the Governments in the region really want New Frontiersmen running around there territory playing Cowboys and Arabs? The frontier response to submit or die is “No, You submit or die and than we will take your sacred homeland and turn it into real estate”. Read the Northwest Ordinance of 1784.
BTW if we end the unconstitutional “War on Drugs” the Taliban, Al Quada, FARC etc will lose at least 80% percent of their funds. This of course will lead to further decay of their power and capability to annoy us.
