Isolationism was a bad idea when we employed it, and it's a bad idea now. We have to work toward removing the idea that the US completely relies on unilateralism, though.

Most nations have proved their willingness to act alone when the want and/or need arises. The problem is that, now, the US is seen as the only nation able to actually do it. The US isn't the only nation that can act alone, but it's the biggest target in that group, so it gets the most press.
