Peter, I'm an Isolationist. Under my philosophy there would not have been missions to Yugoslavia, Kosovo, Iraq or Afghanistan. Nor would we be a member of NATO.
I don't believe the US does or should have allies outside of our own borders. Nor should we have international missions to cooperate with anyone on.
That might have worked in 1900 but that is a totally impossible way to live in this day and age. In a global economy it would be impossible for any country to survive in this way. The US does not have the manufacturing capacity or the natural resources to thrive.
