And won cold war.. in part by umm.. frivolous wars in central American , the Caribbean, and middle east.... to paraphrase our isolationist fellow freepers
Opposing STUPID WARS is far from being isolationist. About the only direct combat during the 8 years of Reagan was Granada, and that was over in about a day.
If NOT being isolationist means trying to ‘nation build’ as the GOPe seems to think can work, and/or bombing the civilians of non-threatening countries (as in Belgrade, Syria, and Libya), count me as an ISOLATIONIST, since that does seem to be today’s definition.
