Jorge nation building or altruisitic endeavors in foreign lands is an alternative approach that the US chose not to take. The US has mostly backed dictators with a heavy hand while Corporate America reaped the spoils. In return the populace of those countries got nothing but pizzed.
The point is that neither way is isolationism but what might the world look like if we had taken the alternative approach. I don't know.
Do we need to change our approach? Can we change?
Is it too late?
The end of democracy, and the defeat of the American Revolution will occur when government falls into the hands of lending institutions and moneyed incorporations.
