I keep wondering;

With international travel becoming more and more prevalent, interaction between citizens, businesses and governments of different nations increasing by the day...........

How long can the "exceptionalism" crowd expect to maintain their silly, isolationist façade?

Actually, I'd say it's part of the xenophobic hysteria we're experiencing today.
Millions of Americans spend time abroad and see that it's really not all that bad. And this has the ones who are comfortable with the "American Way" a bit more than nervous.

What say you?
