Well... I think if we adopted a policy of non-involvement, in good or bad, we'd be much better of all around.

Ironically I think that's why we were able to rise to prominence in the late 19th century and going into the 20th. We weren't very tangled up in the rest of the world so we were free to focus on building our nation rather than spending resources trying to solve international problems. That only really changed with the WWII and the onset of the Cold War.

I think we need to get away from this attitude of global hegemony and superiority and be more careful about what role we play in foreign politics. I think Iraq was/is a terrible waste of American lives and resources and has significantly hurt our interests abroad. We're not invincible nor do we have unlimited finances so we can ill afford to get involved in foolish conflicts like Iraq and then do a poor job in prosecuting that conflict.
