			Splendid Isolation loses it's sheen after a while. It's also interesting to see a Body politic so completely unhook itself from the moral/ethical counterbalances which other nation states can provide.  With the couplings fully loosed this is a State which is free to drift into a moral hinterland without ever having to feel itself to be anywhere but the moral highground.
