Initially under the guise of "fighting communism" and later under the heading of "world's policeman", we have pretty much stuck our noses into the business of every country on the globe. And we have paid a high price for it. The roots of almost all "hate U.S." movements around the globe were nourished in those interventions.

But that intervention was us sticking our noses in their business. Them sticking their noses in our business is a different story. We have never even allowed that type of relationship with our close allies (Great Britain, Germany, Israel, etc.). That there is a big "no go". There is a reason why some of the strictest rules in Washington involve emoluments. Our forefathers saw that politicians could and would be tempted by officials from other nations, and that they would also be tempted to profit from relations with other nations. Big "no no" there.

Bad interventions, yes, Iran, Chile and Guatemala. Cambodia, Vietnam and Iraq the worst. And I agree with Millhouse the MIC has been/is a danger, a continuing problem.

But also that meddling protected central and western Europe, spread liberal democracy. Prevented WW III.  As worse alternatives now arise in central europe or continue in the Far East, we need to keep that in mind.

Stop electing bad leaders--that's always been the key. Watch corporations, and their influence on government.
