    Sadly, isolationism may be the next step.

    Totally agree. Maybe not cold turkey, but a dramatic cutback in foreign aid to every third world crap hole like the former Yugoslavia. Let em have at each other.

    America truly rose to power internationally after WWII. I'm guessing both you and I are too young to remember the back to back worldwide conflicts stacked 20 years apart, but most sane people would rather never see those days again. You can thank US taxpayers for Pax Americana. Just talking about it reminds me how naive it is to think the US, and the whole rest of the planet, wont get involved if Pakistan lets one fly over India, or Iran to Israel, or N. Korea on S. Korea, etc, etc, etc. The next one is going to make the first two look tame by comparison.

    One capped "LOL" per line, for a total of four. How can I stand up in the face of such a powerfully presented argument?

    With something like only 18 days of oil reserves in the bank I believe that's only wishful thinking on all our parts. It won't happen until renewables have taken over IMHO.

    Actually, as far as oil the US purchases, on last check - we get the most from Canada, second is Mexico, and third is Saudi Arabia. I can't imagine any of them refusing to sell us oil, if we became less involved in the world.

    Good. Then campaign for less involvement of your country in the other countries affairs. The world will appreciates it and your government won´t be even more bankrupt and can spend the resources on it´s own people. It is very strange the USA insists to force it´s "charity" on the world.

    I 100% agree, but the problem with you is, you are still laughing when nobody is speaking. There are doctors you can see about that you know.

    Seeing has how Canada lives under our shield of protection, its highly unlikely they will do anything to cause issues with US relations.

    You know that the only time Canada and USA went to war, Canada kicked your ass and we were involved in both World wars before USA gets off it's ass. Even today look at the situation, when Canada produces REAL MEN, USA can only produce, well what can I say YOU. ;):D

    U.S. military is always there on each side of the war. as the most powerful country in the world, they certainly have a purpose and a specific mission, that is ruling the world.

    If it was our purpose to rule the world, we'd not be paying as much as we do for gas, bailing out other nations, or helping the helpless and defenseless at every turn. I doubt we'd be buying goods that say made in Indonesia as well, that that were the case. ;)
