"In other words, the US should not dominate any territory but her own, yet we should bring inalienable rights, due process, and freedom from cruel and unusual punishment to every people on Earth. Then, leave them alone."

How do you propose accomplishing that without dominating other terriroties? Keep in mind that dominating other territories is not limited to military action.

I don't know. It's concept that should serve as an overarching goal guiding our foreign policy, and not necessarily an agenda that can be implemented , it seems. It's a utopian ideal, certainly, that would be difficult to put into practice.

What we are doing in Iraq and Afghanistan compliments the mission, but obviously we can't militarily invade every nation on Earth.

Perhaps the more democracies that spring up through intervention, the more the oppressed nations will rail for their OWN freedom.

I just think if we have sight of the goal, we know what to do in each individual situation.
