And American right-wingers will say things like "well, we can be trusted to do these things, but China/Iran/France can't be trusted." No proof to back up WHY America can be trusted by no one else can, just assertion.<BR/><BR/>Of course, the reason we can be trusted and no one else can is directly because of the second part of your post - we have GOOD INTENTIONS! We only want to help the world to be free and capitalist and happy! Just like us! The Chinese, on the other hand, want everyone to be miserable and communist. And the Iranians want everyone to be Muslim! And the French want everyone to eat cheese, drink wine, and be socialists! So they all have BAD INTENTIONS and can't be trusted.<BR/><BR/>They have a complete inability to put themselves into another person's shoes - and that's as true of the idea of putting themselves into another country's position as it is of putting themselves into another person's position.
