American foreign policy isn't about freedom. It isn't about peace. It's not about fighting communism. It's not about fighting terrorism.

The only objective of American foreign policy is to fight for the things America believes to be in its best financial and political interests.

We'll take down peaceful nations in the name of peace and prop up totalitarion dictators in the name of freedom, as long as those actions suits our interests. Nothing less, nothing more.
