Foreign Policy has become a key part of the Bush administration and some have gone on record to say that the US foreign policy is basicly the building blocks to a new world order. Or is it? The old saying goes, "America only does something if she gets something in return" meaning that America will only do something if the country benefits from it as a whole. This could mean lots of things from oil to money, land,etc and this does seem a selfish act.

In fact, in this country someone can say that the president sucks and not get dragged off and beaten. Is that a bad thing? For all the talk of us being a police state we sure do allow - even encourage - dissenting views from within our society.
Is that right?

So basically, what I am wondering is if it is a bad thing for a nation's government to be "selfish" since, after all, the only real job of any government is to ensure that their citizens have the best standard of living possible.
If that is the case, and the US if creating a NWO, that doesn't seem to be such a bad idea as an American citizen. It's not like we have forced our biggest allies in this order to change (Great Britain, Canada, Australia, among others)
