During the election between Obama and McCain there was chatter of isolationism. The world shook their fists! The problem and answer causes ripples that no one likes.

Frankly I don't have the answer. What I do know is that a large part of this mess is due to western countries. The whole globalization process starting in the late eighties, early ninties was pushed by the west. So as to give corportations the ability to increase their profits. And our societies be damned. There is always a price to pay AVGWarhawk, and if we have the fortune on not paying it now our children and their children we have to bear this cost. What this cost will be I cannot say. War ? Collapse of our democratic societies ? A new world order ? Who knows.
I just hope I will not be alive to witness the downfall.
