I agree also.
And I don't want the U.S. to be the police force of the world. But no conscientious person can just ignore genocide and horrible oppression, can we? I hope a fresh approach to our foreign policies doesn't loose sight of the fact that we need to find ways to help oppressed people around the world in more positive ways than in the past. Tyranical forces would be less likely to take root if we help people with their basic human needs. In hard times, even our own countrymen will need help. I hope our government learns how to deal with these issues in more positive ways than has been our history.
