The only legitimate criteria is whether it is in the reasonable American interest.

Agreed.

Was Nation Building in Germany and Japan and.....Grenada legitimate.

Undecided, undecided, and yes.

Why?

Because it averted a Soviet beachhead in our hemisphere and did so at low cost.

where is it not legitimate? Why

Asked and answered.

the conclusion is that Nation Building is as American as Apple Pie

Nation building is far more often counter to our interests than otherwise. Almost the entirety of Africa and large swaths of Asia could stand rebuilding.

It is in question whether the post war Nation Building of Japan and Germany were worthwhile!!!!!!!!!!. Really????

I guess Paleos are living out in an even further dimension that I imagined.

One thing is certain. They will continue to be unhappy with any policy from any direction that has any semblance to being rational and they will continue to long for days from long ago that never actually existed.
