Why does U.S foreign policy intrude and dominate other countries while U.S citizens respect others' rights ?

Question

What can we -citizens of U.S and also other countries - do to change the belligerent and domineering policies of U.S to make it a friend and well-wisher of all the countries of the World ?

Answer 1

The US foreign policy is probably based on securing the maximum advantage to the country
in any given situation which,I am sure,any country would resort to.

Answer 2

The U.S. is actually the largest funding source for NGOs, rehabilitatory/reconstructive activities at national and community level in many countries,the world agencies for peace,health and international funding and credit agencies.The critics say it is neocolonialism ,even if it were to be so the role of all that help cannot be undermined considering improvement in lives of so many.Their society had all the evils but it is to the credit of American public and their resilience that ultimately they could build a pluralistic and prosperous society.The menace of certain extraneous and intrinsic elements did not deter them from being tolerant and anthropologically a model of coexistence.But the strengths always have certain weaknesses,psychological and real.The country remained in a sort of self imposed semi isolation but were shaken from it by Pearl Harbour.In my opinion that was the turningpoint that guided the US foreign policy and continues to do so even today. The Soviet hegemonism,as was fondly/contemptuously called by Mao later led toaggressive posturing ,spying and 'groupism'which alienated some countries pushing them into the socialist fold.But the choice of friend 's friend is a friend and vice versa led on many occasions to support dictators and terrorists whom they had to fight later like in Afghan,Iraq and so on.The absence of a recognizable 'bloc' of enemy today paradoxically leads to a greater sense of insecurity accentuating the tendency of belligerence. The natural wish that their society should be secure leads to the domineering attitude which in other words implies'offence is the best form of defence',diplomatically,militarily and economically in varying degrees.From restrictions to frank sanctions,from military bases in vicinity to to frank attacks and invasions the list goes on.The Islamic terrorism and its perceived enemy in the US made aggression imperative. I may offend some and please some but Ifeel the US should be sympathized with. A rich guy helps his poor friends but may ask for certain moderation and thought in spending and their behaviour towards him. The friends are peeved and join hands to point accusing finger at the helping hand! It happens every day and we see that happen too ,this is only on international scale!True ,the Government and not the people themselves are making decisions but given the powerful citizen forums and participation in decision making and admittedly the greatest consideration for citizens' opinion the policies do enjoy the sanction of people and honestly any other Government or people would have been much more belligerant!

Answer 3

Because the US run by those who are puppets in the hand of mafia. The president of US is considered to be the most powerful man in the world but, he is the biggest puppet in the hands of Mafia. Mafia only wants wealth and enjoyment. They want to grab wealth by any means and in this process they dont follow any ethics. They sell drugs and consume the same for their enjoyment. They Use women as a comodity and last but not the least, they develop lethal arms and sell to other countries by all corrupt means. There is very huge profit and commission involve in arm prices. To convince their customers they want ot show the live test of their new weapons. To display this test they select some countries, which are either doesn't fall in their group or in their majority religionfor, for attack . After attacking the country they loot their wealth which is there prime motive.
They show the Lethal capacity of their weapons to their prospect buyer through movies and T.V. Chanels and convince them to buy.

Answer 4

I'm not sure what we could do in our everyday lives. Letters to the editor is all I can think of. One thing that would help is getting someone in the White House who respects others' rights. I think Dennis Kucinich would do the best job at that. His wife is very much a citizen of the world and holds a degree in international conflict resolution.

Answer 5

US citizens and the Administration that decides internal and external policies of the USA are not same.Generally, when there's Republican President in this country, please don't expect anything different from what you have already observed.The Republicans are simply tools of corporates, who are more interested in quick bucks than civilised ethos/norms one expects from a great Nation like the one we are having.It's our fate.

God Bless USA and its Great Citizens

Remove the corporate component from behind our foreign policy.

There is only one reason why we meddle in the Middle East: Oil and access for US corporations to it.

Otherwise, it is a desert with few resources that nobody wants to live in.
