Most people ignore the participation of the supposed victims of the U.S. foreign policies. The U.S. acts in its own self interest. That's the way it should be. Of course. Would you like to explain how it is in the interests of the US to unconditionally support Israel in its occupation of Palestinian territories, knowing full well the kind of animosity it generates? The way I see it, there are a bunch of countries out there that have conducted foreign policies that alienated the U.S. as an ally. Sure, but let us not forget that for the most part, those policies were their insistence of doing things by the book - as in, where is the proof, and no, "preemptive" invasion of a country that has never threatened you is not exactly self-defense, the only widely accepted excuse for war. They have a point there, and I believe it would be in the interests of the US to seek a common ground with those allies. The focus should be on the "war against terrorism", and the US cannot do that alone. And proof that the current administration understands that every problem doesn't require a hammer to be fixed How is that? I don't understand the "proof" you are referring to.
