I have had many opportunities to listen to what foreigners have to say about American attitudes and policy. I have come to accept that not all American ideas are correct or good.

Ever since Teddy Roosevelt, the United States has been trying to butt its nose in the affairs of other nations, contrary to the foreign policy advice of many of the founding fathers and contrary to what was foreign policy from the founding of the republic through almost all of the 19th century. We are reaping what we have sown.
