Yes, US should just mind its own business.

Just because other governments do it doesn't make it right.

Open governance that I suggested is very similar to Open government wiki link you linked.

And I spelled hypocrisy wrong.

My understanding is the world would be a better place if everyone works together and live peacefully.

Now please convince the Latvians of that, say. Seriously, the case that the second half of the 20th century would have turned out better with an isolationist US is a hard case to make.

I'm not entirely convinced. The problem is that alliances are not permanent...

> And I spelled hypocrisy wrong.

Then as I said, I don't understand the rest of your paragraph.

Sure. We'd need no police, no armies, etc. It would be pretty nice.

The question is how we get there.
