America would do the world a BIG favour...minding it's own business.

But that's "isolationism," what Gromyko tried to avoid by having the UN Headquarters in NY. The US must engage as another member nation on this planet, which means taking down ALL the military bases, ALL the def-connn HQs and start waging PEACE not war. All that, AND developing (for the first time) representative govenence.

Isolationism isn't even the right word. Rapprochement, detente, reciprocity are more appropriate. America has a psychotic preset where everything is seen as a "threat". They are monopolistic so there is no middle ground, no room for consensus or accord. They reject diplomacy as it is a skill they have rejected in favor of bullying, brinkmanship and bribery. They are crippled with a "winner take attitude" and zero regard for the rule of international law.

You and I will never live long enough to see America (the 'exceptional') behave as a member of world society...no, the hegemonic tendency will always be with it. There is plenty cleaning up that America's backyard could stand...enough work for the next 2-3 generations.
