	Dangerous visions - The Boston Globe
		One of the most disastrous effects of the war in Iraq is that it has rekindled naive isolationism in the United States.
		That isolationism, what historian David Fromkin has called the United States' ''exclusive concern with self," dominated America's foreign-policy psyche for a century and a half before the Great War.
		Pushing this new isolationism has been a stream of books from journalists-turned-historians, and vice versa, bearing the message that Iraq proves that America's purpose in world affairs -- promoting democracy -- is fundamentally flawed.

		So far, the United States has refused to sign a number of international agreements, namely the ABM treaty, the Kyoto Protocol on climate change, the Biological Weapons Protocol and others.
		It states, "Surely Europe and the US can find a balance between the moral power of the ICC and the need for the military power of the US to maintain that moral order." Currently the solution has been a temporary exemption of American peacekeepers from prosecution by this court.
		What seems to me to be a strong safeguard for any nation involved, that the ICC would only step in to prosecute those responsible for genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes when countries are unwilling or unable to investigate or prosecute a case on its own, is not safe enough for the Bush administration.

		In Nordlinger's view, disengaging from security commitments on distant shores would liberate the United States to use its resources and decision-making powers to act more effectively abroad in matters of economic policy and human rights.
		A national strategy would then become a powerful new method of encouraging international ideals of democracy, and isolationism would be freed of its previous associations with appeasement, weakness, economic protectionism, and self-serving nationalism.
		The United States could have effectively and far less expensively helped to deter Communist aggression in Europe and Asia by encouraging other nations to make larger investments in their own protection.

		European skeptics have found new currency to their views that conflict in far-off lands is "ancestral" and "centuries-old" and that it is a naive mistake to attempt even to address their most immediate present consequences.
		In the United States, neo-isolationism feeds on the example of Somalia to press for a foreign policy that yearns for the ability to exercise power without accepting the responsibilities of leadership.
		It is even more important for the United Nations and for countries that play a leadership role in world affairs to create and display an array of measures short of military intervention so that the latter is truly a measure of last resort.
