It is impossible to think of a world in which America was not there in the honorable service of humanity.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Our concept is not that America should operate alone or by itself in world affairs or in military affairs.
I've never seen America as an imperialist or colonialist or meddling country.
There is no part of the world that is irrelevant to the United States anymore.
There is no doubt that America is a superpower of the world and we cannot ignore them.
The world must know that America holds to the highest standards of military conduct and human rights protections. Anything less is unacceptable.
There are many respects in which America, if it can bring itself to act with the magnanimity and the empathy appropriate to its size and power, can be an intelligent example to the world.
Now, do I think there has to be shared sacrifice among other nations in the world who want a stable and secure world? Absolutely, there has to be. But I don't think that America can ever abdicate its leadership role in the world because of who we are and where we've come from. We are the symbol for the world for freedom and liberty.
America is a world leader, but we should not be its policeman or ATM.
There is no substitute for American leadership and exceptionalism.
The United States' job is not to police the whole world.
