That's why it makes no sense to use the term isolationist, but it's a useful pejorative that sounds bad.Isolationism meant restricting business and industry from participating in global trade and America giving up it's rights to not only allow it to trade with whomever it wanted, but demanded giving up access and rights to the open seas. Wouldn't it be nice if we could just call ourselves neutral and let the world spin out of control as if it had no bearing on us? It really is a child like concept of the world.
