"Depends on what our interests are and what we do in order to achieve or defend them. Generally acting in our own best interests is reasonable,"

So that's a qualified "yes"... it's NOT unreasonable to hope that America will act in a rational manner, in her own best interests....

"Trying to control the world to the extent that you apparently envision would not be reasonable, and considering the likely reactions of others it probably wouldn't even be in our interests."
