Why should the United States follow Europe's lead? The continent has been embroiled in wars of its own making for centuries.

That got me to thinking. Since the American Revolution, the US has engaged in
1 Civil War
1 war against a neighboring state (the Mexican War of 1846)

Since the American Revolution, the European nations have engaged in
at least 3 civil wars (1830, 1848, the Spanish Civil War of the 1930s)
at least 4 wars against neighboring states (the Napoleonic Wars, the Franco-Prussian War of 1870, WWI, WWII)

That's to 2 to 7.
And these people are to lecture us on how to keep the peace?
