Оригинал для желающих:We tried isolationism in the 1920's and 1930's after having chosen to intervene in Europe("foreign lands" ) in WWI.Our "reward" for trying to leave the world alone to fight it's own wars and figure out it's own destiny apart from us, was two near-simultaneous attacks on America by two of the most powerful empires the world has ever seen--the Japanese empire and Hitler's Germany.Not long afterward, to keep the the South Koreans from being enslaved by the North after the North had already captured Seoul, the Americans and her allies pushed the North back across the 38th parallel. Technically, the North still assumes a state of war with the South.All that was followed by a half-century of the Cold War forcing America to remain deeply engaged militarily(NATO) and economically from Europe to Asia for the next 50 years.We tried once to leave the world alone. The world wasn't having any of it and still isn't.That's why we send our kids to foreign lands sometimes to die--precisely because the world insists on making their wars(Japan, Germany and the USSR's) our wars as well.Your way of isolationism has been tried. Been there and done that. It doesn't work no matter how much we wish we could leave the world alone to figure out it's destiny separate from us.
