"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken

O'Neill is a bit off here. The problem with "ethical foreign policy" is not the "ethical" part, but the "foreign policy" part. There shouldn't be a foreign policy. The government should stop making foreign policy. It should leave individuals alone, to interact and trade as they wish.
