I agree with the first part of your statement. It has not worked in many states (thought the reasons are far from simple) and that many are enamored with the "Free Market, Free State" worldwide dream.
I completely disagree that the dream of freedom has killed millions, in fact it is within that dream many have sacrificed themselves for the betterment of others. It is the nightmare of Totalitarianism (facism, socialism, communism, dictatorships, islamist states, etc.) that slaughter the worlds peoples.
I could be wrong but I sense that you are more of an isolationist. Whether you support free markets or self determined peoples is here nor there, though I should hope that being on Free Republic means you do.
Keep in mind that isolationism, by it's own self interest, has cost many innocents around the world their lives through it's own inaction.
NO I am not an “isolationist” but I suspect many are becoming so including me because of the horrors inherent in propping up the one world fantasy in all its heinous forms.
Call us neo isolationists.
We become this because our meddling leads to innocent deaths which we silently or defensively accept in the vague hope that the resulting state becomes more humane, more open, more PC, more accepting of minority populations, more crap...NOPE it doesn’t work...has not worked. In the meantime we justify the means to the end. And the end is a crueler beast than the one it replaces.
America cannot operate without a moral compass. That is what I believe. Having done so in the past allows totalitarian states free rein in doing their bloody deeds.
