Ramsey Clark is well-meaning, but his approach to world politics leads to disasters. For example, he urged Jimmy Carter not to assist the Shah of Iran, but to let the Iranians "determine their own fate." This lead to the Ayatollah Khomeini and a lot of misery for the Iranians. Our own nation owes its very existence to the assistance of other nations, particularly the French, helping us throw off the shackles of Great Britain. We've remained neutral too many times, in my opinion. We should have intervened to stop the genocide in Cambodia, we should have intervened to stop the genocide in Rwanda. We should have intervened in Eastern Europe and saved Hungary and Czechoslovakia, etc. from the Soviets. Letting nations "determine their own fate" sounds very high-minded, but the results can be very bloody.
