It's not an excuse for meddling either.
Sure it is.
A husband beats his wife, you meddle.
Like I said to Dark Thor, taking your logic to the logical conclusion, we had no right helping the Jews against the Nazi's.
Thor didn't deny this. He only said he doesn't trust US intentions, which is a very different thing than being against meddling if the situation warrents it.

You're talking in absolutes.IMO, U.S.A. should have removed Saddam, but it could have been done better. This was Kerry's stance in '04, the only Democrat to lose the popular vote in the last 32 years. 😐
Adam's statement was an absolute though.
He said it's proper to get angry at a neighbor who meddles.
Sure, but that assumes you aren't doing anything worth meddling about.

Its over meddling (especially on your own) which leads to mistrust.
It was also right to intervene to stop the massacre of Bosnian Muslims. Any kind of mass ethnic cleansing is a no brainer to interfere.
But extending that to any dictator? And mostly invading places with natural wealth? And doing it with or without your 1st world allies? And working with regimes just as brutal and in fact arming them? Thats what leads to mistrust and clear double standards. And thats when it turns from intervening to help, to just outright invading and occupying whoever you feel like.
All this skepticism over big Pharma vaccines, but none over the plan of the military complex is frankly quite baffling. Spend your tax payer money to sort your own country out first. I mean worlds biggest superpower with no free healthcare? And yet might and right to invade others to bring them morals? Really?

Your opinions on American foreign policy are ones I can agree with.
