Are you sure about that? America benefits a lot I think from the world being relatively peaceful and, more importantly, predictable place.

An instable free-for-all world is more difficult to navigate, and probably devastating for the economy.

No, I'm being hyperbolic. We lose. But sometimes going down together--America, isolationist and the world in turmoil--seems like the preference of the ignorant.
