Polling data released today by the Pew Research Center showed the start of what may well be an historic shift in the American public�s foreign policy priorities away from a multi-decade bias toward globalist interventionism and toward what the center called �isolationist sentiment.�

But far from isolationist, the policy supported appeared to be a less bellicose, decidedly non-interventionist foreign policy, but one which still recognized the value of foreign trade (more supportive of free trade now than in previous polls, in fact).

The real eye-popping statistic, however, was that for the first time in the poll�s 40 year history, most Americans supported a policy of �minding its own business internationally.�
