Just for the hell of it, what’s wrong with an international perspective? I like the idea of our country working with other nations to solve (gasp!) international problems? This is the position of great Americans from Jefferson to FDR. Jimmy Carter’s human rights internationalism destroyed the Soviet empire, allowing Reaganites to take credit for it. When Churchill declared there was an iron curtain that had fallen over Europe, he gave hope to people suffering under Stalinism, and tho possibly not his intent, supported those suffering under right-wing dictators as well.
