EDIT: Let me change that.

It seems to me that you don't really advocate isolationism. You advocate "isolationism, but...". My problem with that is that there can always BE a "but," and unforseen circumstances are in the eye of the beholder.

I think the issue of isolationism does have a place in this conversation though. Have Libertarians like yourself Preech made strange bed-fellows with the far Left? I mean, people who want us to pull out of Iraq and withdraw from the world don't call themselves isolationists, but that's essentially what they are. It almost strikes me as the uneasy alliance in the early 20th Century between Republicans like Bob La Follette and Bob Taft. Soon, Democrats will grow a spine (I know, a cliche these days, but it works), and they will start calling for withdrawal. Especially if '06 goes the way it looks like it might. What then? Paint the picture, Preechr-- the GOP is hurt, the Democrats are on the rise, and we have ourselves an internationalist, interventionist president, and an isolationsist Congress. Who jumps on board? Where do you stand? Is it ideology, or stick with Bushy?
