Quote

I think isolationism is a mistake, no matter what party you see it in. We have to remember that there are two threats to our freedom: there's a threat that comes from the federal government, from the Obama Administration policies... but there's also a huge and significant threat from al-Qaeda.

Isolation is a self-defeating dream.

We feel no isolation. But, having said that, I want to emphasise in particular that we do not want to go to extremes and abandon the European and American directions in our foreign economic cooperation.

Isolation is the sum total of wretchedness to a man.

Our view is that economic isolationism is the wrong way to go. Vibrant, successful growing economies that advance the interests of their citizens engage the global economy. And, we're committed to engaging the global economy.

Teamwork is better than isolation, especially for a columnist.

There's something to be said in favor of working in isolation in the real world.

I like the idea of isolation. I like the reality of it. You realize what you are... not that the knowledge is inevitably rewarding.
