This is a danger to the Republic.
For when a people is divided
within itself about the conduct of its foreign relations, it is unable to agree
on the determination of its true interest. It is unable to prepare adequately for war
or to safeguard successfully its peace....
The spectacle of this great nation which does not know its own mind
is as humiliating as it is dangerous.
- Walter Lippman on pre-WWII American partisanship
