"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
Non-Interventionism is the Only Cure For America's Foreign Policy Woes

The war on terrorism racket is so ingenious that regardless of what happens, the U.S. national-security state benefits from it. That is, if there were no more terrorist attacks, interventionists would say, “We’ve got to stay the course because it’s working.” But if there were more terrorist attacks, interventionists would say, “The danger is bigger than ever. We’ve got to stay the course until we kill them all.”
