"Our interventionism has been going on since at least the end of World War II."

That is true. We were isolationist up until WWII with the exception of sending troops to Europe for WWI. However, Bush has been a particularly unpopular president generally throughout the world.

"It isn't going to happen as long as either a Democrat or Republican gets elected" (in reference to rehab from Bush).

Obama represents a change in directions. It looks like McCain does not as he has adopted Bush policy in all major areas.

'Well, getting rid of the neo-cons at the cabinet level is easy enough if Obama gets elected but it's the neo-cons deeply entrenched in the various deputy undersecretary for this or that jobs that will be harder to dislodge."

I would agree this is going to be a problem in government bureaucracy, but low than the undersecretary level, as each new cabinet picks their under secretaries.

Donkey Jote:

I agree. Non intervention does not mean isolationism. Ron Paul is not an isolationist.
