| #10 Re: that youtube video... I think Graham is part of the same mafia that Obama, Putin, Assad, and the Gulf State Monarchies belong to. THey don't like each other and sponsor violence against each other but don't want anyone else to be free. They believe in fantasies where the rest of the world can be sold into servitude to their enemies but that the sale will never come back to bite them. |

| #9 We're not in an isolationist period, Obama just surrenders to whoever listens. So it's more surrenderism than isolationism. |

| #8 It will be interesting to watch the European left seamlessly transition from "All the world's problems are the result of US intervention!" to "All the world's problems are the result of America's abandonment of its moral responsibilities!" At the Guardian they won't skip a beat. |

| #5 I just keep remembering all the anti-American demonstrations in Europe, particularly during the Reagan era, and sometime from the campuses around Seoul and take comfort in that this world's generation (not to mention all the cheap suit local politicians who sat by if not encouraged such behavior) is going to get to answer the question - What have the Roman's ever done for us? |

| #4 The problem is that a pathological mix of US & Western masochism, pathological altruism and zero cultural self confidence ensures that interventions will be bloody and costly and that they will ultimately lead to a humiliating defeat for the West. It was a hawkish interventionist who called for the importation of alien tyranny as a price to be paid for success in Afghanistan. That's not a convincing argument against isolationism. |

| #3 Can we not escape blame for fok'n anything? I'm not at all convinced the 'global free-for-all' wouldn't be playing out right now whether we were 'engaged' or not. If you see a man and a woman quarreling at the pub, find the door. |

| #2 Well, whether or not the US plays, or leads, or whatever, Somebody has to be in charge, in front, the leader. People and groups of people naturally form hierarchies for their own protection. And if you're not the lead dog, you get to look at the lead dog's butt. |
