No, it's not. But who says winning friends is or should be a pressing
priority for US?

I don't think anyone can afford to be isolationist in this global
economy...

Never? Have you ever had the pleasure of a chat with the Border Protection
people at a US airport?
It's definitly making me reconsider visiting again.

Ah, so it'll affect those of us who live here as well, then.

Call me nationalistic or whatever you want, but IMO the main
responsibility of a government is to protect its own people. The
intricacies of foreign relationships is always second to that (at
least when it doesn't directly affect the first responsibility).
Europe has dug somewhat of a hole for itself with its generally
lenient immigration policy, and some people, such as the US, are
wary of that.
I think it's rather telling that the people who performed the London
bombings were not foreign terrorists who had entered the country
illegally. They were British citizens. I believe that has had at least
some effect on the foreign policies of the US with respect to Europe.
(That is, it's no longer just "ah, an European citizen, thus not a
terrorist, welcome" as it may have been in the past, because nowadays
even European citizens can be muslim radical terrorists thanks to these
immigration policies.)

That expression just sounded like sarcasm to me. I would be surprised
if the author wrote it seriously.
