In response your message, ILike2DriveCars, extremism is what I'm GOING for! We've got to get the attention of the rest of the world, and I'm sorry, but with my typical American superiority complex, we've literally got to show them whose boss. Not by being the "big American bully" but by taking away the BONUSES that they find it so easy to ignore in light of the "bad" things we Americans do. I personally think that the good FAR outway the bad.
As far as not being able to trade for goods, I believe that any foreign country would be more than HAPPY to trade with us, at REDUCED rates, in fact. America is a consumer country. If we withdraw all our aid AND funding, these countries are going to need every dollar they can get from us to fund their military (whose fighting crime) and to feed the starving (who were relying on our American taxpayer dollars to feed their mouths and cursing us with those same mouths)!
It's all going back to my original argument that we must isolate ourselves from them so that they may see exactly how much we DO do for them.
I invite anyone who has a say to join in this discussion.
Also, I'd like to thank you, TexasF355F1, for supporting me in that portion of my argument.
EDIT- Thanks for your vote, as well. I saw that after I'd posted this.
