@bruce....
the USA is unique in that its foreign policy is derived from its written constitution, and literally does say 'to protect and promote American Interests'.
It's the mindset behind that concept that I take issue with.....
It implies that American interests must come first over all other considerations ( eg selling arms to Israel and then rebuilding Lebanon by US companies is a good deal..... the several hundred Lebanonese deaths are neither here nor there)
...and oif course, it is in oppostion the foreign policy of most European nations, which is
'to protect their citizens abroad, and promote business interests abroad'
