What are you saying? Since the world was settled by war and conquest we should keep it up? That Manifest Destiny should continue across the globe? That the world will only know peace after it is subdued and ruled by the US? That's what it sounds like.

There is a big difference between European and Asian nations known to Machiavelli and us. That difference is a land surrounded by two vast oceans, east and west and two week countries, north and south. We are most fortunate and unique in our circumstances. Please note that all of our 20th century wars came once we went out in the world to be a great power in the European mode and project force.
