America Must Stay Out of Other Nations’ Ethnic Conflicts

The attacks on the State of Israel, though horrific, are no threat to its existence, and they in no way threaten the United States or its interests. Then why do people insist upon calling for America to be involved then? The reasons, such as they are, are various. Some genuinely seem to believe that America is and should be the world’s policeman, putting down conflict everywhere it flares up. Neocons and others identify “democracy” (i.e., political and social freedoms largely unique to Western civilization) with American power, and so they wish to spread these by intervening in such conflicts abroad.
