but Jefferson Correctly recognized that the Barbary pirates had to be shut down from the halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli.
The halls of Montezuma was a reference to the Mexican War. The Barbary Wars were waged in our national interest, freedom of navigation on the high seas. They did not try to bring democracy, they waged a good old fashioned punitive expedition and compelled the enemy to fulfill our will. Under multiculturalism we must value the enemies civilians as we value our own, a return to the America First values of the founders would put Americans first, with perhaps a thousand to one ratio of retaliation for each America killed. Our 9-11 memorial would have been a wasteland where Kandahar once stood. I would exercise some restraint about being drawn into foreign conflicts, but failing that I would wage war without restraint, our ruling class of today does the exact opposite.

We all exercise restraint in foreign entanglements.
We could have made a difference in Iraq.
I have always had trepidation with Afghanistan.

Our leaders are wimps, and that reflects the mindset of the constituency.
