I don't believe you even know what left wing is from your opinion. Obama is centrist at best.You don't have any left wing political parties in the US. Only right (Democrats) and very right (Republicans) wing ones
I like that Linuxperson guy he thinks and talks with his head not his stomach! Linux sucks by the way, tres difficile!America never really used total isolationism at any point, it's impossible for a nation of almost total immigrants to do so. Ask your Jewish, Italian, Irish etc, etc communities not to take any part in their indigenous nations' politics.UK and US will never be sucessfull in Afghanistan because nobody has ever defined what "Success" looks like. What are we expecting our forces to achieve? Afghanistan culture is in a different time frame to ours, we are arrogant to believe in sacrificing our young men and women to replace what it took three hundred years for our own society to achieve.
Hmm, now that lack of support wouldn't have anything to do with the useless and damaging years Blair spent sending their military into Iraq, would it? Naw, it's much easier to blame America, now that you don't have a PM with his nose up the president's arse anymore.

I'm not an Obama fan but you need to learn what things mean. Socialist is not a word to be using because you saw it on TV
