How sure are you of that? He participated in the cover-up of the sinking of the USS Maine (and the playbook for every unpopular war from then until 9/11 was "sink a boat and blame whoever it is that we want to go to war with") and engaged in plenty of overseas adventures later as president. He's responsible for the policy of federal annexation of state land.

I am fine with just removing troublemakers after they make trouble. "These people are predisposed to be troublemakers" is, whoever "these people" are, a bad plan.
