It's my opinion that our forefathers advocated for peace and commerce because our poverty struck government couldn't afford a foreign policy. Now that we have the means, it is our responsibility as world citizens to be involved in global affairs. Indeed, there's no way to avoid entangling alliances in an increasingly interconnected economic world. Are they imperfect? Absolutely. Should we renounce them in an ultimately futile attempt to keep our pockets filled with gold? No.
