You certainly could use a good lesson in Capitalist economics. Our markets
were saturated around the turn of the century which lead us into the 
Phillipine and Spanish-American wars. Isolationism is incompatible with
the constant demand for increased profits. The dialog of such politicians
as Henry Cabbott Lodge and his ilk might fascinate you.
