This is not going to happen.
For example, I just heard Democratic senator Jane Harmon say
that America has an obligation to help the Syrian people, after
today's horrific chemical weapons attack by Bashar al-Assad.
Other people would point out that America has an obligation to defend
Israel, as the Mideast's only democracy.
As I wrote last year, there are a lot of people, in America and in the
world, who believe in American Exceptionalism, and who truly believe
that America has a moral obligation, or even an obligation dictated by
God, to do the right thing, and they would not consider staying out of
the Mideast as the way to do the right thing.
