That’s a perfect description of the Liberal Internationalism foreign policy that had roots in Teddy Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson and then achieved dominance with WW2 and the Cold War.

Anything other than America playing global policeman is “extreme isolationism”, which of course would have the apparently unified evildoer regimes of the world dictating terms to a craven USA.

I know our neocon pals love this stuff. The genius Dubya and his merry band of nation builders and democracy exporters said it would culminate in The End of History. War is good.

One would indeed be dictating terms to a craven USA. So you leave the Barbary pirates alone, and later Germany, or the Soviets to expand unhindered, and militant Islam, and China, with control of the trade routes, and countries we depend upon.

By the same mentality, you eliminate police, the FBI, etc. (though not sanctioning all that such has done).

After all, the world and all the US population will behave themselves like the self-sufficient libertarian isolationist (at war with another), or the elite liberal, as both are have with the same delusion.

I am all for smaller government, and for being God and self-governed (and reliant), but I know the insofar as men and nations are not thus controlled from within by yielding to God and Godly conscience, they must be controlled from without.

The problems arise insofar as government is not controlled thusly from within, and thus persecutes those who are.
