Globaphobia: Does that Term
Mean Anything to You?

In short, the term means the fear of being engaged with the rest of the world. While we are about to step-up the military campaign in the Middle East, on other fronts we appear to be seriously withdrawing from the world. Is that good or bad? I suppose that depends upon your perspective. I, for one, believe it is a mistake to get any more out of circulation. Unfortunately, the promise of a very serious war could drive even the bravest business men and women back into their home market.

Some have argued that Americans have grown increasingly out of touch with the rest of the world over the past decade or more. Maybe that is another reason why I started this web journal.

What's your opinion? Are we headed back to extreme isolationism?
