George Washington's Farewell Address

Every American should listen to this. I also have two text versions in links below. I think we can all safely conclude that The League of Nations nor NATO should ever have existed. Foreign policy begins @ 25:29 (time-stamp)

United States, September 19, 1796

Washington's public political address warned against foreign influence in domestic affairs and American meddling in European affairs. He warned against bitter partisanship in domestic politics and called for men to move beyond partisanship and serve the common good. He warned against "permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world", saying the United States must concentrate primarily on American interests. He counseled friendship and commerce with all nations, but warned against involvement in European wars and entering into long-term "entangling" alliances. The address quickly set American values regarding foreign affairs.

This is the whole speech in text form. Foreign policy begins on page 24.
