whilst being in your later "most people just want our..." group I perceive a great many non-interventionists as not exactly pacifists.

Have many in my own family & respect their hatred of the waste that so often occurs as SOP in foreign entanglement.

General Washington said it best;

"The great rule of conduct for us, in regard to foreign nations, is in extending our commercial relations, to have with them as little political connection as possible. Europe has a set of primary interests, which to us have none, or a very remote relation. Hence she must be engaged in frequent controversies the causes of which are essentially foreign to our concerns. Hence, therefore, it must be unwise in us to implicate ourselves, by artificial ties, in the ordinary vicissitudes of her politics, or the ordinary combinations and collisions of her friendships or enmities."
