After thinking about this quite a bit, even though my heart absolutely breaks for the innocents, and let's face it, it is the innocents who are affected by those few in power, until America stops being the international police, the rest of the world will not put themselves on the line. They just wait for the USA to jump in and let the USA take the heat. Time to back off, take care of our problems at home with our own, and let the rest of the world adjust to a new role in international citizenship. I assume initially some will see it as a victory and that the US is now weak, but on the flip side, our "allies" will recognize we aren't going to be the default anymore and they are going to have to pony up going forward.

I very much agree. Everybody knows we have the power, now it is time to let someone else take the reigns.
