Exactly.  Like spreading democracy through force of arms, for example.  Like supporting the likes of the Taliban when they are fighting someone whose ideology we dislike.  Like supporting Saddam Hussain when he served our short term interests of opposing Iran, or selling arms to Iran to raise money to fight a dictatorship in Nicaragua. 


Our foreign policy needs to be based on pragmatism, not on ideology.  Our domestic policy needs to be based on pragmatism as well.
