In November Cato held a briefing on Capitol Hill entitled “Fall Fables and Fallacies: The Truth about U.S. Foreign Policy.”
In my presentation I challenge the pervasive myth that the United States is somehow an indispensable nation, required from keeping the world from falling apart at the seams. Though the United States is clearly a very important player in world politics – perhaps the most important – the belief that the United States should try to solve every problem and end every conflict has seriously negative consequences for American foreign policy and national security.
