Fourth of July and the American duty to self defense
An editorial argues that American Fourth of July meaning has shifted from global democracy to protecting American liberties. It warns against entangling alliances and outward campaigns, urging focus on national solvency, independence, and safeguarding the United States rather than policing distant realms. It frames Korea as a distant concern rather than a model for world democracy.
