You disprove your own argument. You try to make your argument by using quotes of the founders and then go on to say that what you are saying is right based upon what the Founders "didn't foresee".

In short, the quotes you provide do not reinforce your central premise: "America's Founders were opposed to intervention and pre-emptive wars."
