I had lived in Korea for the past 6 years until February of this year. During this time, I had taken trips back to the US every 2 years; 2002, 2004 and now in 2006 and I can honestly say that the situation in my hometown had steadily gotten worse.
I was a child in the final days of the Cold War, where the mighty US and western Europe was pitted against the violent and inevitable threat posed by the tyranical Soviets and their allies. But during that time, there was more development and growth and most important, opportunity.
But all that went down the drain after the first Gulf War under the stewardship of the first G.H.W. Bush who ushered in a period of drastic recession for much of the US (especially the northeast).
But things turned around briefly during the heydays of the "Clinton Era" until the election of the monster we have in office today.

The sad part is that most of the money that was supposed to be earmarked for urban development is now being spent on a wasteful war that we won't concede to losing. We pour billions of dollars into what I NOW consider a very lost cause.

With the election of the Democrats into the Senate and the House of Representatives, this is suppose to be a time where the government is suppose to put its own interests ahead of the rest of the world.
This is suppose to be a time where jobs should be made instead of being exported for the sake of saving a dollar or two.

But is all this considered isolationism?

That's not greed. A government should be governing its country, not other countries. It looks like greed that caused the Iraq invasion in the first place.

It is considered isolation.

[RACETRAITOR]

Oh, isolation. Yes, it is. Is that a bad thing?
