OPINION: America’s foreign policy establishment is suffering from a kind of post-traumatic stress. After the costly, destabilizing interventions in Iraq and Afghanistan, lawmakers on both sides of the aisle are rightfully wary of any talk of “regime change.” The world watched as trillions of dollars were spent, thousands of lives were lost, and the promise of democracy gave way to chaos and the rise of new threats.
