In response to "Though from what you’re describing, the problem was more about American isolationism." by Roger More

Oh, definitely.

But a much different flavor of American isolationism, I think. There is the American isolationism of "we aren't the world's police force" or "we need to respect the sovereignty of other nations." Wilson's Moral Diplomacy was more like "we're far too good to get involved, doing so would only sully ourselves"

- It's absolutely an extension of the Monroe Doctrine and Manifest Destiny into foreign policy. And you rightly pointed out that - ReluctantCynic Dec 21, 14:59
