What exactly is it you want to hear from me?
That you understand a Nation's frontiers are unavoidably artificial, for instance, and that isolationist policies are a no-win proposition, I guess.
I mean, it's so frigging obvious, really.
Is it so bad for me to want us to keep out of the business of other countries and expect likewise from them? Is it that horrible that I would prefer that American money stays in America than going to another country?
Well, yes, it
is horrible in a way.
For one thing, it is not really possible.
While the desire to keep the challenges and troubles of one's community separate from those of others is certainly understandable in a first look, that is also a self-limiting proposition that, frankly, doesn't quite make sense at all; the world is simply much too interconnected. As the two World Wars showed us all, there is no benefit at all in pretending that what other countries do or fail to do is not of our concern - or, conversely, that one's own country owes absolutely no satisfaction at all to others.
Such an isolationist mentality was what made the Great Empires possible. They all fell apiece in World War I, and we really ought to know better by now after paying so high a price.
Just as you want nothing but the best for your own country I wish the best for mine.
Heck, I don't think so at all. Truth be told, I don't even have much respect for the
concept of a country; it has always been artificial, and is arguably all-out undesirable at this point of History.
Don't like America? Don't come here. Don't like our way of life? Keep living yours.
As others have noted, the America Way of Life is hardly disliked. It's the USA foreign policies that make many people pause. There are important economical and ecological issues too. Neither of those can be legitimally excused by appealing to national sovereignity, due to their very natures.
