“Globalization” has been a buzzword for many years. But there are two types, and the distinction is extremely important. There’s the globalization of America’s Founding, as laid out by Thomas Jefferson: “Peace, commerce and honest friendship with all nations entangling alliances with none.” And then there’s the modern globalization laid out by Paul Wolfowitz after the Cold War, known as the “Wolfowitz Doctrine,” which seeks a permanent American global hegemony to prevent the rise of any rival power that can block U.S. unilateral action. Jefferson had it right, and America prospered. The neocons have been wrong, and America has suffered.
