The New American Isolationalism:-1

A new survey came out stating that the Americans are felling increasing disentanglement with the affairs of the world. This is in contrast to the present U.S. Government effort to engage with the world. The survey also states that this maybe due to the economic problems that we are experiencing at home now. It also shows that American things that China is the No.1 economic power in the world but the U.S. is still the No.1 Military power. It also shows that the American public wants other people to solve their problems themselves with little or no interference from the U.S.

What do we make out of this survey? As I have been consistently saying in my previous posts, we need to take care of ourselves first. We should realize the fact that the world has changed now and we can no longer be considered to provide assistance and interference in other people affairs. Most of our aid goes to governments whose own popularity is worse than ours just because we support them. We need to start disengaging now in the trouble hot spots or scaling back down our international commitments. And I don’t believe that this isolationalism is just going to go away once the economy is fine and good. This is a trend that will grow whether the government likes it or not. We just don’t have infinite amount of resources or the patience to deal with the insurmountable problems that encompass the various regions of the world.
