thats for sure,, i do wish we could go back to our isolationist roots, yet as proven during most econimic down turns, the U.S. has majior influence over world economics,(IE we have a depression so too the world) which makes many believe we should be involved directly with foriegn affairs, however i believe we use the wrong approach to world relations, the shadow of the opressor is too easily associated with us in many ways, despite what good we may bring to many others the fact remains one misdeed makes the picture, in other words we have a tendency to make our own bad name.
