Since World War II, the United States has adopted an interventionist foreign policy, straying from the founding father’s more humble policy of nonintervention. ISPU Fellow Ivan Eland points out that a more restrained, less militaristic U.S. foreign policy is likely to dramatically reduce anti-U.S. terrorism at home and abroad and would comport better with the principles of our republic.

Ivan Eland is a Fellow at the Institute for Social Policy and Understanding. He is also a Senior Fellow and Director of the Center on Peace & Liberty at The Independent Institute, and author of the books, The Empire Has No Clothes: U.S. Foreign Policy Exposed, and Putting "Defense" Back into U.S. Defense Policy.
