Good.

and regress splendidly into non-interventionism if not isolationism.
I think that's somewhat of an extreme assumption, if not borderline silly.

As such your above posting would need to re-assess for the body of believers that there is no good foreign policy except none at all, which is a legitimate and widely held undercurrent of US Populism and Nationalism both.
Again, I believe this is an incorrect assumption. Granted, a small portion of the population would probably like our nation to be isolationist (extreme pacifists). I think most people just want our leaders to do the right thing; i.e., send our military to fight only when necessary and spend our tax dollars on worthwhile endeavors.
