Not all Americans believe the US government should be involved all over the world, trying to influence other governments, or fight Fascists, or Communists, or any other forms of governments. Personally, I don't think our foreign policy should be to interfere unless we are asked to intervene by the current legitimate government of any other country, and even then, we should not become involved unless human rights are being violated and lives threatened.

The people of each country must determine what kind of leadership they will live with, and often fight and die for what they believe in to make changes, when other peaceful methods are not successful.

I believe that the USA should be more isolated and concentrate on our own problems at home, instead of spending billions of dollars anywhere else around the world. How can we gain the respect of any people or country outside of our own, when we do not solve our own problems first.

We should only act when begged to act in support of any other people or country, and only in combination with several other countries, but sadly this is not how our current foreign policy works for many decades. There is very little to be proud about being an American these days.

Maybe Jim should include a BIG disclaimer that these views and opinions are his own, and not typical of all Americans.
