Iraq class discussion



To continue our dialogue from class today, I would like to pose a few questions or concerns relating to American foreign policy.  Certianly most Americans view our nation as a moral authority when it comes to government and ruling.  However, have Americans always followed the path of this moral high ground?  Setting aside national propaganda and general societal sentiment, has the U.S. actually gained the trust of other nations through real world interactions?  Essentially, does the United States seem to follow the mantra of "Do as I say, not as I do?"
