The Economist (August 26)

Is America turning inward? Next week, America is pulling combat troops out of Iraq. Some Americans would like to escape other overseas commitments, such as Afghanistan, to focus solely on solving America’s economic difficulties. The Economist applauds President Obama for maintaining international commitments, pointing out this also protects America’s self-interest. “If America does not take on the task of containing such threats, who else will, or can? For all the difficulties at home, the fact remains that the biggest gainer from a strong America abroad is America itself. “
