Further, tens of thousands of Americans who've died in wars after 1945 would have been alive to lead personally rewarding lives, enrichening the fabric of American life in untold ways.
As far as racist activities are concerned, government has frequently been the primary vehicle for racists, and Abraham Lincoln was one of the worst of all time. Lincoln was the chairman of the Illinois Colonization Society, who wanted to move all black men and women out of North America.
Now, you make a point, any will do.

"the gov atrocity's... all powerful...I will assume you mean the US gov, mine and yours. Pull your head out of your extreme prejudices and look at the rest of mankind and its history. The atrocity's committed by the US gov are among the least in history. Your existence is evidence of that. A government that you describe would have left you in a pool of blood long ago. I am very proud of the tolerance of our gov and society. My self and millions of others have and will again protect your right to express your opinion no matter how repugnant. Not prefect...Big Surprise!!
Tens of thousands would be living in peace and prosperity if we practiced total isolationism? Well we didnt remain isolated, so that is not only unproven but flys in the face of common sense.
