That I believe is because the younger you are, the narrower your view is on what "foreign policy" is.
For the average 20 yr old TFP member, the 2nd Iraq war is all of what US foreign policy is, because that is what they've lived through as adults.
The fall of the Berlin wall, Kosovo, Gulf War I, the Iran Hostage crisis, etc. aren't real events to them; they're words in high school history books.
This isn't a slam on that generation, just an observation on human psychology.
