>>40 I dunno, WWII was mostly the doing of shortsightedness and diplomatical weakness coupled with economic rivalry; few of these factors had anything to do with the US, which is why the public disapproved. Here, the issue is not if the war was justified but how it was carried out and by whom. That wouldn't create isolation, more like self-scrutiny. It's a shame the dems can't offer an attractive alternative. Bloomberg seems like a nice guy though.
