2008: Obama, Paul, and "Neo-Isolationism"
July 31st, 2007 by Matt
In his Sunday Times (of London) column, Andrew Sullivan ruminates about the strength of the Barack Obama and Ron Paul candidacies, and whether their continuing appeal portends a transformational shift in America’s foreign policy–toward a sort of “neo-isolationism”. Sullivan writes, “Many Americans look at trying to coax democracy or even stability in the Arab world and conclude that it’s a mug’s game.” As a result, he wonders whether a candidate embracing more long-term engagement in the Middle East is electable in 2008–or if the foreign policy winds in the U.S. are truly changing.
