Nation building’s faulty premise is that people everywhere want what Americans want

Great article, thanks for posting.

And Americans don't even want "what Americans want" anymore, since the nation that existed in 1945 has been dissolved and replaced with the largest, greatest nation building exercise in the history of mankind - turning a continent populated by whoever into a better "nation" than the European settler nation that was called "America" and that existed, essentially, from 1775-1965.

A lot of truth in that. We've abandoned our history.
