As an American, I am concerned about the fact that many of my fellow Americans believe we should eschew membership to international organizations or assisting other countries in need. If we can invade other countries can't we help them also? A major event in one country will inevitably affect America as well! Everything is linked, my friends. Think AIDS, think WWII, think the growth of extremism in the middle east and many others. Don't get me wrong, I like my country. There are many things it needs to work on, but I think overall it is a good country. A huge mistake, however, would be to assume that the USA is an island unto itself on this Earth.
