On Republican Internationalism

Over at The National Interest, Robert Kaplan has a piece on Republican internationalism that’s worth reading.

Here’s the last paragraph of his article:

Republican internationalism helped bring America through the Cold War and was specifically responsible for its successful and peaceful conclusion under Reagan and the elder Bush. It has more miles to run, now that a second cold war might conceivably be in our midst. It is a tradition worth preserving, since even if Republicans lose in November, the moral health of the country necessitates that both major parties have credible foreign policy positions.
