as in "truth, justice, and the American way". Is the American way an important ideal?

Yes, of course we should but not by force. We should try to bring the gift of liberty of the oppressed people of the world at every opportnity. It would be enormously selfish of us not to. Ther average citizen does not realize how wonderful it is to live in this nation. Sure it has some pimples and a few warts but it is still the best form of government there is, bar none. Could it be better? Sure. Let's work to make it so.
But don't just sit back like a lump of poo and put it down. The petty problems people go on about are just incredible. If you could only see what life is like for people in truly oppressed societies it would break your heart.
You think america is so terrible? What is life like for a child in North Korea? What does the future look like to a girl in Somalia? If you think American Indians have it so bad try being one of the indiginous people of Mexico. They are banned from attending school for crying out loud. How well did the indiginous people of South America do? Answer, they are dead.
To me the Americans who bash America are like a person who is given a beautiful palomino horse but all they do is lift up the tail and complain about all the smell. They miss everything else that is so good and so beautiful.

No, how we do things is ours and others need to find their own system, but freedom should be for everyone. Unfortunately some other countries feel the only way they can continue is by attacking us, see Venezuela, were we attacking Venezuela? No but there's Chavez ranting and raving about the US attacking them, why?
because that gives him the legitimacy to conduct a huge arming campaign which is going to eventually destabilize South America,
but against all common sense we won't put a bullet in him. So are we spreading the American way around the world or are we promoting freedom?

actual our device is properly worth spreading, it fairly is by skill of a good distance the appropriate element the worldwide has ever seen. no longer by skill of stress, yet interior the direction of the demonstrate of real assessment and thoughts that make the U. S. great. i do no longer see retaining people interior the worldwide as forceful spreading nevertheless. I recommend in Iran the government is oppressing the persons, and in Syria. In Iran there are good people who do have self assurance in man or woman rights. I agree that liberating a team of fascists is a waste of time which will in all hazard finally end up worse, yet spreading thoughts is a value objective, because of the fact it fairly is the recipe to a greater advantageous existence. Why do no longer you're making an clever appraisal by skill of ordinary assessment? on account that does no longer artwork to your predetermined consequence to bash the U. S.? the main benevolent u . s . in worldwide history? the main imaginative, prosperous, and the appropriate by skill of a good distance interior the component to man or woman human rights? i did no longer say ideal, however the appropriate by skill of a good distance is extremely worth of spreading so others can perhaps have a number of the comparable.

Well, I wouldn't want to go around the globe patting myself on the back that America stands for truth and justice as it stands for neither, unless you are rich!
And what is the American way? Body Bags coming home for 4 years on a daily basis? Or that Bush cuts Veteran Hospitals twice while giving the rich a tax cut?
The American dream is becoming an American Nightmare!

We should allow any nation that so desires to propose and ratify the US Constitution as the law of their own lands.
Should we try to persuade or force other countries to ratify the Constitution? That would be pointless and no doubt resented, so no.
We can only guide by example.

No. Every country has a right to develop its own ideals and values, and not every culture values the same things we do.
Also, our country has fallen far short of its own values in the last six years, so I think our time and money would be better spent in taking care of our own people, our infrastructure, our health issues, our schools, our homeland security and our environment.

no, i think we should stop interfering in other governments unless it directly involves the US, let allies take care of themselves except in time of war or sharing information...i do the the American way is an important one...but it shouldn't be push on others...pushing social ideologies onto a society has never worked...
