Maybe it's understandable what a history of failures America's foreign policy has been. We are, after all, a country full of peopl...e who came to America to get away from foreigners. Any prolonged examination of the U.S. government reveals foreign policy to be America's miniature schnauzer--a noisy but small and useless part of the national household.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
