I guess it would be a little too much for you to point out that all three sentences you posted can be traced in some fashion back to Woodrow Wilson's grand crusade to 'spread democracy' wouldn't it? Remind me again, what world leader is currently advocating 'spreading democracy'?

Yes, it would be. I just thought of those off the top of my head.

By the way, sometimes the concepts of "making the world safe for...", "stopping the spread of...", and "spreading..." are synonymous. Sometimes they aren't.

Here's a thought for you, since you seem to be interested in history: Was Poland renowned for its interventionism prior to being invaded by Germany?

Well not in the last 400 years or so at least. But as Poland is not a member of this union of states I don't care what their foreign policy was. As long as it did not threaten our borders they could attack every one of their neighbors. Course they may get their asses handed to them but that's Europe's business.

That being said, considering Wilson was partially to blame for the rise of Hitler, it could be argued positively that we needed to correct the situation in Europe.
