This makes no sense. To the extent any of these countries have made foreign policy blunders, has it ever been for the sake of liberalism? It's not like England has gone around the world murdering and enslaving people for their lack of commitment to free speech and freedom of assembly. The USA didn't go into Vietnam on the basis that the government wasn't allowing people to practice their religion without interference or write subversive books.
As far as I'm aware, no one in history has ever started a violent conflict out of an overabundance of respect for reason, evidence and a desire for the expression of a plurality of viewpoints.
