Last week 117 “members of the Republican national security community” signed an open letter condemning Donald Trump. “His vision of American influence and power in the world is wildly inconsistent and unmoored in principle,” the letter complains. “He swings from isolationism to military adventurism within the space of one sentence.”
Although there is some truth to that critique, writes Jacob Sullum, an inconsistent skepticism of foreign intervention is better than none at all. That’s why Sullum has trouble agreeing with neoconservative foreign policy experts who say “Hillary is the lesser evil, by a large margin.” The beginning of wisdom in foreign policy is learning from mistakes, something that Clinton, who is supposedly much more sophisticated about such matters than Trump, has proven constitutionally incapable of doing.
