Re: A Theoretical Question about Isolationism
[ QUOTE ]
We simply cannot isolate ourselves. As much as I'd like to - frequently. It's not only not practical, we have this "humanitarian thing" about us. There's no way we aren't going to help when tsunami's and earthquakes happen.

I didn't read the OP as saying individuals would be prevented from helping, only that the government would not provide aid. How much Tsunami relief was donated by private US individuals as compared to the "official" government contribution?
