In a civilized society, should anyone or any government ever force anyone to do anything against his or her will as long as that person does not infringe upon the life, liberty, or property of another?

The Foreign Policy of Peace and Freedom

Great article (title above) by Scott McPherson on The Future of Freedom Foundation website. The Founding Fathers knew best: leave other people alone - don't mess in their affairs militarily and politically. Thomas Jefferson, when asked why he cut the navy in half, responded that he did not want a large navy floating around out there, it's only going to get us into trouble. He also said "we must stay out of Europe, they are nations of eternal war."

Let's heed the words of the founders and implement a non-interventionist foreign policy. We'll save American lives, and a lot of money too.
