Isolationism is a nice thought, but I don't believe that reality would pan out in our favor. Not everyone wants the style of governing that the US provides. Some people will gladly live under oppressive regimes for centuries.
We need to keep our hands dirty. I don't believe everything needs to be overt, though. SF, CIA, etc play a critical role. Think Pakistan, Egypt and Yemen.
Then again, I'm just a puke in an armchair who's never set foot in any of the aforementioned countries, so maybe you shouldn't pay me any attention.
