The warning against interventionism reminds me of a children's story some never took the time to learn.

Remember the king in the palace who introduced several cats to rid the palace of the mice problem? The cats reproduced so the king brought in dogs to run off the cats. The dogs made a mess of the place so he obtained lions to chase off the dogs. But the lions were too dangerous so a small herd of elephants were used to overcome the lions. And after virtually everything in the palace was in shambles, the king ordered that mice be brought back into the palace to frighten off the elephants.
