Yes, but Paul argues he would only attack the actual terrorists abroad without holding account the states that harbor them, as though terrorists are somehow free agents, and their host countries bear no responsibility.
It was a no brainer, but my point was Jefferson was not against foreign interventionism when the nation's security was at risk.

Jefferson was restricted by law from freeing his slaves. The reason why he died in debt is the law didn’t prevent him from paying his slaves a salary, which he did.

Machavelli was not Spanish. He was Italian, but wrote The Prince (De Principatibus) in Latin.
Jefferson did teach himself Arabic.

How was Jefferson restricted when Washington wasn’t? They both lived in Virginia, and Washington DID free his slaves.

Virginia changed the law after Washington freed his slaves. Jefferson raised the issue as governor every year, trying to change the law back, and could not get it passed.

A later version of the prince was written in Italian.

Yeah, I corrected that above. The bio I read said he taught himself Spanish. Can’t remember the book right now.
