I think Ron Paul’s isolationism is extreme and not in the American tradition.

However, even though we advocate principles based on popular self-government and oppose tyrants in principle, we MUST realize that our own best interests should come FIRST, and that a government such as ours cannot be instituted from without in an environment which has no tradition or history of freedom, democracy or human rights.

THAT is where the Bush type globalists have failed.

It took over a 1000 years of evolution before we got it right. Muslims have demonstrated their religion makes them incapable of even STARTING on that road. The results of our abortive efforts in “nation-building” in Iraq, our continued failure to achieve stability in Afghanistan and the poisonous fruit of the Arab Spring, bare this all out.

“we MUST realize that our own best interests should come FIRST”

I agree as did our Founders.

"It took over a 1000 years of evolution before we got it right."

Evolution did not give us the beauty of western thought and government...that should be rightly attributed to the Protestant Reformation.
