Can't please anybody these days. Right on. We can't please everyone; so why try?
MiB In the years leading up to WWII the US foriegn policy was isolationism. The United States tried to stay out of WWI and it tried to stay out of WWII. When it came our of WWII the US decided that it had to be more involved in foriegn affairs.
Meanwhile, countries like switzerland are at peace and have been so since Napolean's fall (I believe that that is the last time that the swiss were invaded but don't quote me on it). The US draws attention to itself every chance it gets and the government has expanded to a point that was never intended by the founding fathers. The US has reached a point of too much power. "Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely."
