America *chose* to enter WWI. The Germans were already almost beaten by the time
US troops arrived.

Korea was a *UN* action and was far from just the USA.

Neither West Germany or the Balkans have *asked* for US forces. In both cases US
forces were there as part of the NATO alliance anyway.

Viernam was a disaster. Why do you mention it ?

It shows that cleaning up a big mess may be impossible.

We managed to get rid of one judge but only because the idiot
yelled at a prosecutor--not because she was always siding
with the child molesters/killers.

What part of the phrase "party being dominant" did you not understand?
A Republican governor didn't stop the Democrat legislature.
After a few years of trying to do their job, all Republican governors
gave up and started looking for work elsewhere.
