Old Isolationist Tug
Victor Davis Hanson used to be one of my favorite writers. I now find him a little bit tiresome as he seems to recycle many arguments. However, I think is more often right than wrong and this piece on the fairly obvious rise of isolationist sentiment in America is, in my opinion, right on tract. The nation has grown tired of its global responsibilities and wishes it could just get back to the heyday of the 1990s. As Hanson observes, history rarely affords us that luxury. We can't give up what we have built without a far more dramatic downfall than anyone really wants to experience, except for those who are convinced of our inherent immorality.
