Great post. Unfortunately, most Americans are steeped in interventionist ideology. That’s why year after year, it seems so many neighbors, family, and friends are beating the war drums.
Interventionism is the justification for nearly every war in American history. If a foreign country is acting unjustly towards its citizens or its neighbors, many Americans believe that the righteous U.S. ought to intervene.
I think if we want to convince people that interventionism is wrong, we need teach people that even in the supposedly just wars of the past, Americans suffered greatly due to its meddling in foreign affairs.
