thats isolationist, when you only want to concern yourself with your own affairs regardless of what others think. i agree you should not choose your leader on the basis of what the world thinks of him/her, but we all want someone who can represent us to the world and stand up to others and be respected. john b

  Beg your pardon?? Show me where what I said was isolationist.

I challenge you. You can't, because you're just blowing hot air.

I specifically spoke to a very specific email, one that touted nothing 
about a candidate except how much better he's going to make us look to 
the rest of the world.

If you think that makes me an isolationist, then you don't understand 
the meaning of the word.
