The inaugural pledge of Thomas Jefferson was no less clear: “Peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nations-entangling alliances with none.”
Washington’s Farewell Address,1796. … Washington’s address argued for a careful foreign policy of friendly neutrality that would avoid creating implacable enemies or international friendships of dubious value, nor entangle the United States in foreign alliances.
Washington ultimately took Hamilton’s side and drafted a Statement of Neutrality on April 22, 1793. The Statement of Neutrality voiced the United States’ intention to avoid foreign entanglements, to keep the United States out of European politics, and to make temporary alliances only in emergency scenarios.
As European powers embarked on a long war, each hoping to draw the U.S. to its side, Washington admonished the country “to steer clear of permanent Alliances.” Foreign nations, he explained, could not be trusted to do anything more than pursue their own interests when entering international treaties.

Our country was absorbed and or merged with countries that have baggage. As Papa Bush said, “We have a new world order” right on TV with a smile no less. Obama once said re bombing Kaddafi, “We have budget restraints now you French have to do it” . Another time with a problem he said “Hey we are all in this together ya know”.
