Why would non-intervention in the internal affairs of another country be a problem? Please be specific.

If it truly causes harm to the U.S., then it’s a major problem. There are a finite number of examples where non-intervention by the U.S. in the internal affairs of certain “politically unstable” countries would be a problem (Iraq, Iran, North Korea, Cuba, Venezuela, etc.), and it would take too long to explain it all. The whole idea of the entire War on Terror is to truly prevent any more “9/11’s” from ever happening again on U.S. soil as well as help deter terrorist acts against any Western Civilized country. The continued existence of U.S. military bases all over the world also helps to deter the worse cases of violence from actually happening all over the world. Still, the debate between whether or not all of these U.S. military bases should exist all over the world will continue for as long as the U.S. truly remains a superpower nation (including the debate over whether or not this is a waste of U.S. money, weapons, and people as well as the usefulness or lack of usefulness of the United Nations as a “world entity”).
