We see media talking heads talking about it and how important it is all the time but I wonder - does the average American even know what it really is?


Does the EDUCATED American even know what it is?

I consider myself mildly educated; I've read a bit about American History - maybe more than most folks but I claim no expertise. There have been plenty of times where someone has helped me to see some light here and there.

So I ask you - in your own words what do you think American Foreign policy is about? What is its purpose, what do we hope to gain from it?

I feel that if folks don't know what the purpose of a particular policy is - any policy then they have no bearings by which to judge a politicians opinion on that policy.

I'm just saying.
