Despite my vigorous critique of the ethics of US foreign policy, I don’t think “AMERICA BAD!”.
I think that America is a country of extremes; the best bits of it are astonishingly good, the worst bits of it are diabolically evil.
US Foreign policy has, IMO, mostly fallen on the bad side of that ledger. When it occasionally stumbles into virtue, it tends to do so under the pressure of strong self interest, and even the virtuous actions are often corrupted by profit extraction in the aftermath.
