I agree with you there--our foreign policy has gone to sh!t but that's what happens when your leader is appointed by 9 ppl rather than elected by the populous. It only gets worse when that leader is talked into cleaning up daddy's mess at a family Thanksgiving dinner. Add 8 years of "party at the White House--BYOB" in between and look where we are today. It’s sad when you have to ask your leader “Is that your final answer?”
On the other hand, what other countries in the world today do as much for the world (yeah “bad” as well as “good”) as the US? Granted I'm subjected to the propaganda here, but we always seem to be the first giving aid, sending supplies, building homes, et al.; not that other countries don’t, but the US seems to foot the biggest bill. Well we have homeless people, diseased children, and plenty of lost Internet packets here too. As thanks for the assistance, we get a collective "Get the f#ck out and stop spreading your diseased ideology” Well the world can’t have it both ways. No doubt we have a hidden agenda to inculcate our democratic ideals wherever we go…but maybe we are trying to build a better America somewhere else as ours is full of corruption and the will of the majority is defined by those with the biggest purses and pockets.
