If our policy is/was to invade every country with a despotic leader why did we quit?
Out of mutual respect?
I think we more used to. From Boston to California, countless savage tribes, and the Civil War. We were, once, a more revolutionary, idealistic, even physical country. Now, we are more managerial, less physical, more materialistic.
We used to be a nation of younger people, now our average age is older.
I don’t know if we have quit either. Maybe it is a case of so many enemies, so little time.
I wouldn’t mind if we had a Department of Thug Overthrow.
