Rising US Isolationism: Europe Needs to Fill the Void

Alexander Adler | trans. M. Bruce, Watching America | March 31, 2008

The US is historically isolationist at heart - this has only been interrupted by events such as WWII and 9/11. ++ The toll of the war in Iraq is leading many Americans to again turn to isolationism. ++ No matter who becomes president, they will begin the withdrawal of America from the world, leaving Europe to fill its role and face the responsibility of containing radical Islam alone.
