We are not going to do it with dubya and cheney's idea of building the defense budget to pay corporations billions of dollars to profit from wars that are not winable.
Nope. I don't think ground wars worked, obviously not. But I think it is also a bit wishful to think we can be isolationists either. It would be nice if we really could stay out of it 100% of the time, but we wont.
I think limited support and tons of diplomacy are the best we can do right now. I do think America, especially our GOP need to stop being stuck on the WW2 high because the nature of our enemies has changed and war is no longer the field convention it once was.
