There's "Here" and "Over There". OH c'mon. "From the halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli.." Jefferson was most likely exceeding his constitutional authority messing around North Africa to protect private shipping interests. For a country that 'would rather not mess around with other countries' it has messed around with almost every other country in the world. Sometimes the justifications are hilarious like McKinley's little missionary activity. " Unaware that the Philippines were the only predominantly Catholic nation in Asia, President McKinley said that American occupation was necessary to "uplift and Christianize" the Filipinos." https://www.digitalhistory.uh.edu/disp_textbook.cfm?smtID=3&psid=1257
