very generation of Americans in this century has fought a major war. We
joined World War I, we were told, "to make the world safe for democracy." In World War II, we were attacked and fought
to save the world from tyranny. In Korea and Vietnam, the grip of ideology led us to fight communism. In Iraq, we fought for
oil. All in all, during the half-century of the Cold War, we used military force abroad on over 50 occasions. In fact, America
has made a habit of war.
