Why are imperialist, interventionist and realist so arrogant?

[Ransom]

Have we asin America ever really tried it? I mean imperialism has never worked forever either.

No. And you are living the greatest standard of living in history.....and we've never tried it your way. You've more freedoms and economic prosperity than 99.9% of mankind......and clueless to that fact.

So you believe that even with our wealth of natural resources we have to steal and murder to do well? I disagee.
So here we stand, your way fails most of the time in the modern world and mine is untested so no one wants to try it? Well all empires fall and we are no different. At least in partial isolation we would have far less enemies to defend against.

After that, bring up some reality. Peter's academic mind good enough for the halls of university, impractical in the real world.

The people who make policy in nations have all gone through the acedemic process. That is why they would understand my posts- the words and phrases that I use- whether they agree with it or not.

You don't.

I see sucess and failure in the post-WWII world.

I don't see any sigificant examples of isolationism in play.

You don't.

Words and phrases you use in an attempt to deflect from your erred and catastrophic analyses Peter. You haven't even been close....a sever disappointment given your claim of so much experience and know how. TO many f'n whiffs.....tighten up.

Words and phrases when used properly aren't a distraction to those who understand them.

They are around; my question are where are the nations that practice it?

More failures than successes as time goes on . But overall is isolationism absent because as you suggest it won't work ? Or more likely because the territorialist , war like nature of leader types won't allow it to be tried?
