America does not know its own mind

This article reflects on the historical tensions within American foreign policy, tracing debates between isolationism and internationalism from the 18th century to the present. It references historical figures like Charles Lindbergh and Franklin D. Roosevelt, highlighting their contrasting views on U.S. involvement in global affairs. The piece notes that Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor ended the isolationist movement, but ideological divides persisted among elites. The author argues that today, similar divisions exist between internationalists and 'America First' proponents, suggesting a lack of national consensus on the country's role in the world. The article concludes by advocating for a balanced approach to foreign policy that can unite diverse political perspectives.
