    United State
    The United States is said to be following a policy of isolation when it joins a world organization such as the United Nations. Is this question true or false?

    OK, first what is isolation ?

    Do you get isolated when you join in other groups ?

    On the surface this statement seems to be an oxymoron. Joining is not isolation.

    The question, as stated, is false. Now if you asked if the United States was following a policy of isolation by refusing to join the United Nations - could be true. But there are more than one reason to not want to join the UN.

    Not necessarily, Stringer - I only gave a part of what I perceived was based on an incorrect question. Who knows? Maybe her teacher worded the question this exact way? I have not a clue.

    If I were a nation, I would not join the UN - purely on philosophical differences.

    Could be, my radar went up my friend... you are probably correct in your assumption.

    And I could be wrong too, Stringer.
