The Balanced Policy Of The Future

I just came across some of separatists texts from the recent time such as Pat Buchanon and ron Paul. it seems that they take the same stand on separating ourselves from the affairs of the world unless they are involving us directly as the separatist movements at the early 20th century America used to think this way prior to world war I and World War II but the call to be involved has always become too strong to ignore. I feel that now in an are when involvement should be there as separatism can’t work in the global village but it is important to know the difference between involvement and preventing others to develop their ability to defend themselves and knowing their own power. America has gone to the extreme of offering fish to many countries with security (and economic issues) but as I see it she doesn’t release these states for independence and maturity and teach them to provide their own security, their own safety and their own power. Have we turned into a over protective mother that can’t push her young ones to independence ? I’m not talking about fighting terror now, but mainly on having American soldiers all over the world to help NATO, South Korea and other places. Do you really think that the European states are really week and need our help, they were able to spend less on security because we are there but there is no other reason in the 21st century that this task can’t be met by the states in Europe. Sure if they’ll ask for techniques or training we can give it as this is teaching them to fish. Is enough being done to help this places take responsibility over their own protection or are we enjoying being the responsible one a little too much? As with personal relationships the balance is in the middle between ignoring other people in need and telling them it is not your problem and the other extreme of trying to rescue every one around feeding on the whole knight story and enjoying it so much that you really need them to need you as part of your perception of self worth. Don’t buy into the drama. The middle way is to help someone and give him the support to help himself.
