Our foreign policy has been pretty much pathetic since ww2. And we've been in an almost constant state of war since then as well. To call out Obama while defending bush....well, that's not being consistent. Bush was awful, Obama is awful. Our foreign policy is a shambles.
As for 'good guys' and human rights, etc.....I would direct your attention to our most favored nation in trade.
Foreign policy isn't based on good guys vs bad.

We've been in conflict since the inception excluding 30 or so years in total.

Nothing new under the Sun.

You insulted me first. You responded to my comments with the rolled eyes like my comments were crazy. I have no problem if someone disagrees with me. But if you disagree with me, tell me what I was wrong about. I think that is the most civil and constructive way of having a conversation. If someone says something I disagree with, I will say, "I disagree with you. Here are the reasons I disagree with you....." I won't just say, "You are wrong", or "you are an idiot", are "you are crazy", or anything like that. That doesn't add anything to a conversation.
