President George W. Bush argued Wednesday against isolationism, saying that what happens abroad has a direct impact on Americans. "Our nation occasionally goes through isolationist periods — where the attitude is 'we've got too many problems at home, therefore, who cares what happens overseas' — which really means to me they just don't pay attention to the lesson of 9/11. Because what happens overseas matter to our national security at home," he said. The conversation, hosted by the George W. Bush Presidential Center in Dallas ahead of the 25th anniversary of 9/11, was moderated by former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. #georgewbush #bush #isolationism #sept11 #cspan
