The United States doesn't do what it does in the world for altruistic reasons. Nobody set out to be the world's government.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Over many years, the United States has worked to persuade and compel governments around the world to abide by the rules. By spurning our own rules, we put that effort at risk.
The United States influences government and life everywhere else.
Whatever it is that the government does, sensible Americans would prefer that the government does it to somebody else. This is the idea behind foreign policy.
The United States is the leader of the free world.
All governments, the worst on earth, and the most tyrannical on earth, are free governments to that portion of the people who voluntarily support them.
The role of government is to steer us in the right direction, not do all the work for us.
Americans want government that is leaner, more efficient, and less intrusive into their personal lives.
No matter how powerful, countries cannot rule the whole world. The world is ruled by brains, by justice, by morals and by fairness.
We believe that government works for the benefit of private life, and not the other way around.
No other country in the world does what we do. On every issue, the world turns to us, not simply because of the size of our economy or our military might - but because of the ideals we stand for, and the burdens we bear to advance them.
