How did the public’s core beliefs regarding the U.S. use of force affect support for military interventions in the post–Cold War period?
What will be an ideal response?
Answers should identify how one of the public’s core beliefs—that U.S. power should be applied only to repel clear threats to vital national interests—produced support for military intervention in some situations and calls for restraint in others. Examples of support may include the Persian Gulf war and the war in Afghanistan. Examples of opposition may include Rwanda, the former Yugoslavia, and Iraq.
