Many times it is an us-against-them situation. Sometimes you have to stand up 
for what is right. As a country the US stands for Liberty and Justice, we 
have always been at an us-against-them situation. The US Revolutionaries 
against the British Empire. Overwhelming odds against us, yet we fought for 
what was right ( freedom among other things ). The Cold War - The massive 
USSR against the US, this was another huge us-against them scenario. The 
civil war - us against ourselves but again supporting what was right. 
Afghanistan - us against them going after terrorists. Iraq (although more 
controversial) Us against the world because no one would support us in taking 
down a dictatorship that was a corrupt tyrany. It's not Isolationist, 
isolationist would mean we isolate ourselves and ignore the rest of the 
world. No, we are actively trying to improve the world, bring freedom to 
where there was tyrany, remove corrupt dictatorships, spread democracy. Isn't 
this what the US has always been about, and what they have done?
