Ahhh! Okay, I see what you're saying now. And I actually tend to agree with you. Although it might sound nice to settle down in complete safety, earning money and protected by fine intelligence operations and a strong military, I personally hate to think what the consequences on the world would be if we took such a position. Because of that, I'd go against being isolationist, and think that would be selfish. Even if some don't appreciate us. If we need everyone to appreciate what we're doing, then we're acting to be heroes in the public eye, not to do what's right.
