The Problems of a Post Imperial World



Most of the modern day Peace Movement in the United States are isolationists at the core. These short sighted individuals have the urge to isolate America as best they can. But just like the isolationists of previous eras they too will fail. I do agree with them with them on one point. Too much intervention is clearly a bad thing. This being said to little intervention is equally bad in its own right. We have to strike a balance were foreign policy is concerned. We Americans should take a look at the concept of Enlightened Self Interest. The operative word being enlightened. We should work with other nations to achieve common goals that are in the best interest of all involved. These are just some of the problems faced by a Post Imperial world
