But the brilliance was Yeats', not mine.

And I cannot agree with an isolationist stance; the modern world is constructed such that we must engage with it fully, (particularly as we are the single global superpower).

The question is in the manner of our engagement; as a unilateral bully-boy, kicking-asses (selectively) of the non-compliant? Or...something else entirely...
