"So why people can continue to claim that it's not appropriate for US Foreign Policy to promote democractic reform and accountable government WITH AN UNDERLYING BILL OF HUMAN RIGHTS, continues to confound me.
Is this just elitism, indifference, or subtle racism?"

I think they are talking mostly about promoting democratic reform etc thru force and perhaps they would say without regard to more traditional definitions of national interest. I think they care but are less sanguine about the possiblities of success than you are. And in Ed's case more protective of the lives of american soldiers. Now you make an excellent point on how many lives we lose if we go to far toward isolationism. Thats something for them to answer.
