Join Campaign for Liberty Thomas Jefferson defined a noninterventionist foreign policy as “Peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nations — entangling alliances with none.” But today, ambitious and/or naive politicians have committed America’s blood and treasure to worldwide crusades for peace, equality, and social justice. It is impossible, however, for America to forcefully impose these ideas on the rest of the world. Furthermore, nothing in the Constitution grants the President or Congress the power to influence the politics of other countries, to bolster their economies, or even to defend them against their enemies if we are not directly threatened. As George Washington forewarned, the appropriate “…conduct for us, in regard to foreign nations, is in extending our commercial relations and to have with them as little political connection as possible.” We must return to the Founder’s policy of military and political nonintervention — while allowing free trade, technological cooperation, and cultural exchanges. A noninterventionist foreign policy protects U.S. sovereignty, preserves the liberty of its people, and promotes fair and friendly international relations. Such a foreign policy will not go abroad seeking monsters to slay, but will deter through strength and promote liberty across the globe by serving as an example to the rest of the world.
