Bingo. I realize the way I wrote that comes off as the world needing the US and the US not needing them. Just want to clarify, that wasn’t my intended message. It’s been a long week, so forgive me for being a bit scatterbrained.

Don’t worry, I don’t think it’s your opinion. I’ve just heard the “America should go it alone!” argument so many times that I know most of it by heart. This idea that we can become an island unto ourselves, just close the borders and be totally self-sufficient, is strong among those who want to believe that all of America’s problems lie outside her borders.
