For starters perhap US should stop shenanigans like Iraq. Had us all fooled really well with that one. Now we are wasting I don't know how much time there for nothing. Everyone who supported the US in that war now has poo on their face.
As for isolationism, be prepared to say hello to economic stagnation and social unrest if you do that. No modern country today would support isolationism if they know what is best for them. Not the americans, not the french, the germans, the brits. No one. We are now stuck with this world together whether we want it or not. Which means taking the cake or the crap from whom ever the fickle american voters decides should run their country.
And I will make sure to comment that denmark is among the few nations that has supported USA in Iraq and afghanistan for the full duration of the conflicts. Doesn't mean I think its sign of particularly smart thinking, however.
