Statement of Principles by the Coalition for a Realistic Foreign Policy
John Quincy Adams once declared that America "goes not abroad in search of monsters to destroy. She is the well-wisher to the freedom and independence of all. She is the champion and vindicator only of her own." Those wise words still ring true. A restrained and focused foreign policy will best protect the liberty and safety of the American people in the 21st century. Conversely, an imperial policy will jeopardize all that we hold dear.
