Now if there is one thing that we do worse than any other nation, it is try and manage somebody else's affairs.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
We have a lot of bad leaders around the world that operate in ways we would never tolerate in the United States.
There is no international problem that can be addressed or solved without the engagement and leadership of the United States and everybody in the world knows that, its just fact of life. So sometimes I think we could conduct ourselves with a little more humility.
We can't allow the world's worst leaders to blackmail, threaten, hold freedom-loving nations hostage with the world's worst weapons.
Despite all of our efforts to control something, the world is much, much more powerful than us, and more deranged even than us.
The worst thing that can happen to us in an ideological struggle is to become what we are fighting.
If we want a great nation, we have to change it ourselves.
We can do better, and we must hold the politicians accountable to do better.
Governing a great nation is like cooking a small fish - too much handling will spoil it.
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.
The worst thing we can do is to do nothing.
