For example, regarding internationally monitored elections, torture, military spending, arms sales, nuclear proliferation and nuclear arms build up, and military actions that are considered dangerous aggression?
If not, why not? Isn't the best way to lead by example?
I remember in the 70s and 80s, there was a lot of right wing talk about left wing "moral relativism" and "situational ethics" yet on foreign affairs, America practices both. Whether something is immoral depends on whether we or someone else is doing it.
I think most Americans believe in all the idealistic stuff we say about human rights, democracy, and mutual respect our politicians talk about, and would like to actually see it practiced.
