Try playing that strategy in the game of RISK. Accumulate an obscene amount of armies, then retreat to North America and just stay there playing defense. Try it. It was one of my favorite lessons for other students in college when we'd stay up late with board games.
My favorite board game :) I have taught my children many a lesson playing it.
Offense, defense, patience, and most importantly long term strategy
Maybe the pin heads in the State Dept should be required to play it once a month to keep their heads half way screwed on right
Defense wins football games. But this isn’t football. :-D
Actually playing Risk, the person that controlled Australia was the major player in the game as it could only be attacked from one country. In order to make things fairer, we changed the rules so that Australia could be attacked from some African nation.
But if you want to put it on the Risk level, the person that controlled Australia was a favorite to win the game. Rarely would anyone control any other place except maybe S. America.
In the Risk game sense, we should withdraw from the rest of the world and make our internal defenses the best they can be. Who is going to attack us when we have massive armies and navies ready to go out and wipe them out?

Hold on a second, you are basing your views of America's role in world politics on a board game? And Ron Paul is a wacko?
