That's funny Sept 11 happened when we were far more isolationist than we are
likely ever to be in the future. It has taken 5 years of fighting in Iraq
to achieve a similar body count as happened in a couple of hours on one
Tuesday morning.

Your prescription is to ceede more and more ground in the vain attempt that
those that will always find a reason to attack the US will eventually
succumb to reason and a good example. We couldn't avoid WWII by giving away
"breathing space" any more than we can .

The best compromise is to beat our enemy like a rapid dog and then withdraw.

Drain the swamp. Deport Islam. Until Muslims observe and protect
human/religious rights of others they should not be allowed to remain in the
West. Islam, as practiced, is incompatible with Western freedom.

Then why not leave iraq, prevent muslim immigration and make it
extremely difficult for muslims to travel to the us. This should save
american lives better than winning a war in iraq. The soldiers lost
either winning or losing in iraq count as dead americans. Isolationism
yields the fewest dead americans, that is the right choice.
