what is wrong with our foreign policy?

Answer 1

Jimmy "der peanut" Carter and William "zipper down" Clinton interfering in it. also blame the boys at "foggy Bottoms" as uncle george called the state department.

Answer 2

When you compare foreign policies the world over, you'll see that there are different camps at work. Some countries see themselves as the humanitarians, and will engage exclusively in big, humanitarian projects, even though it won't make them any money directly - just glory, or shall we say, sympathy, and nods. Sweden is a place like that, as is Canada.
Others, like the US, allow themselves to be led largely by business interests.
Now, I don't hink there is anything "wrong" with that; but it is likely the thing that has led to the big stink we're in right now, especially because humanitarian motives were claimed when really it was all about money.
So, that's what's wrong with it: The insincerety of it. It would have been far more acceptable morally for the whole world if the US had gone into Iraq proclaiming "we do this because we want control of the oilfields".

Answer 3

If you mean the U.S.In all honesty, I cannot find anything that is RIGHT about it.

Basically we have told everybody: "We will do anything we want, we do not CARE what you have to say about it". That's not a great way to get support from others. We don't even follow our own "You're either with us or against us" -- Pakistan will not let us search for Osama Bin laden and is our ally, Saudi Arabia is sending terrorists here left and right and is our ally, North Korea has HORRIBLE human rights and we will do nothing, China has HORRIBLE human rights and is a most-favored trade nation. Actually if we have some kind of values or principles that guide our foreign policy, I'd like to know what they are.

Answer 4

Nothing is wrong. Just the usual foreign policy of intervention in other countries, support to leaders according to the convenience of the moment, invasion of other countries, not caring about other countries' people and feelings, etc. Sometimes goes fine (Chile, for example with Pinochet), sometimes goes bad (Now, Vietnam, for example)...

Answer 5

Hi Jetblack,

Well, I won't name any names, but his initials are George Bush.

He is the decider!

Our foreign policy, or complete lack of one, is going to wind us up in a war that will make Iraq, look like a poodle fight.

It has been predicted, and we are seeing the opening stages of the prophesy being fulfilled.

Bush is going to mess around and piss off Iran and North Korea one two many times and all hell is going to break loose, but . . . .he is the decider.

Good question,

Darryl S.

Answer 6

The US government's foreign policy, you mean? Most of the problems that the world has with it are the result of your government being subservient to Israel and to the organized Zionists. That has turned the US government, the government of what was one of the greatest countries of all time, into a dangerous, sneaking, arrogant, despicable, lying, underhanded, dishonest, contemptuous and contemptible menace to all the good that's left in our world.

Answer 7

what is wrong with it?
Henry Kissinger devised it, and has advised every president since Ford on how to carry it out.
have you looked at Kissinger's history? you should!

because When Henry kissinger was the head of the state department is when most of our problems began, or got far worse than they already were.

Answer 8

I think our problem is that we expect the governments of other countries to be like ours and are willing to use force to make that happen. It's hard to believe that any country would like a government like ours. It is great in theory but stinks in practice.
