Perhaps it's over-worrying about a bad conscience feeling or guilt feelings. Perhaps it's political positioning.

There is a time for dissent. A foreign policy vision will win the 2024 election, and the incoming administration will administer that vision. There is an air given by some that rank-and-file citizens are unqualified to make decisions about foreign policy. What sets the United States apart is the joining of citizens to foreign policy decision-making through the vote. There is a time for those steeped in foreign affairs to offer knowledge and advice, and there is a time for the people to make a foreign policy statement.
