Have a Big Idea?

The US was founded as a light for the people and for progress, and OPPOSED to the predatory, belligerent colonial nations of the time. We have FORGOTTEN that, and our worst time has been since World War II, funding colonial interests in Vietnam etc., and always FIGHTING. WHO makes us do this? Congress must 1) state its TOP goal is finding who does this to us, and 2) make clear that we are ON THE SIDE OF the poor third world around us, and will focus more on diplomacy & friendship than war.
