Reminds me a little of Thomas Jefferson:

"Peace, commerce and honest friendship with all nations; entangling alliances with none."

  fta...... strikes the same chord
  
  "Thousands of American teachers and Peace Corps volunteers and aid workers do much more to advance America's position in the world and to enhance the nation's security than do hundreds of thousands of soldiers and hundreds of thousands of tons of bombs and missiles."

  We haven't had a foreign "policy" in decades: just shoot from the hip expediency. We are like hurt children, often allyng ourselves with the likes of the Shah of Iran, Ngo Dinh Diem, Pol Pot, Augusto Pinochet and Saddam Hussein, just because they were the enemy of our enemy. Watching the hanging of Saddam Hussein, the leaders of the world think "With a friend like the USA, who needs enemies?"
