Minding Our Own Business
This article was originally published in The New American for March 11, 2002, not long after the 9/11 terrorist attacks on our country. At the time, as author Steve Bonta noted, the opinion cartel was saying that we must abandon “isolationism.” They’re saying the same today, amid growing fears of nuclear war. But the principles undergirding the Founders’ noninterventionist foreign policy have not changed, and this article is as relevant as ever.
