Rand Paul Commends Obama, Healthy Debate in Congress
Charles Koch Institute -
John Quincy Adams said of America that "she 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." Contrast that statement with the words of John F. Kennedy, speaking 140 years later: "Let every nation know...that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, in order to assure the survival and the success of liberty." These are very different visions of America. Which America are we to be? Isolationist or interventionist? Somewhere in between?

We're bringing together a diverse panel of foreign policy experts to discuss America's role in the world because we believe in the power of the free exchange of ideas to generate fresh approaches and solutions to our nation's most serious challenges.

Hosting this discussion is a natural extension of our commitment to advancing a free and prosperous society and human well-being. Foreign policy is one of many issues that impacts economic freedom- an integral component of that goal. Want to learn more about what economic freedom is, how it works, and what it means for you?
