:: Wednesday, April 02, 2003 :: The essence of US foreign policy is contained in the quote from Mr. Paine below. Most Americans believe that if all of the world's people were to be granted the same liberty and opportunities secured to us by own own institutions, that the threats to our own freedoms would be decreased. That simple reality is a grave threat to all who profit from subjugation and oppression of any portion of the world's populace, including some within our own borders. Whenever US interests are threatened by world events, we will act to secure our own tranquility. It is our view that the best way to ensure our own freedom is to offer it to all and to intervene when the oppression of one nation threatens the stability of our own interests or those of our allies.
