Despite the rhetoric to the cornraty, most in the world knows the goodness of the U.S.. When truly in need, they know who is likely to help them. They don't ask themselves will Libya come to our aid, will Russia, will China.And we all know what flag we would want coming over the hill if we were desperate. There is one most likely to show and it's the same one most likely to treat us well no matter who we are.One of many proofs is in the way we treat our enemies after defeating them. They always come out freer, safer, and more affluent. One exception was the Native Americans, but that is a mixed story and still no worse than similar clashes of civilizations.I think the problem some people have seeing the general goodness of U.S. foreign policy is that they compare this country to some mythical one that could accomplish what we do without any negative side effects or mistakes. Just compare us to other real nations past or present and we are truly exceptional.
