That sounds a bit extreme. It might cause problems for others, but it would also cause problems for us; a lot of foreign trade is how we do a lot of the things we do in this country, and to become isolationist would sever ties to those countries that we depend ourselves. I honestly think we should give aid when aid is asked for, whether it be the country asking for it or the UN, or what have you.
