The paper urges the American
government to practice a less zealous foreign affairs policy when it comes to influencing the
policies of other
countries of the world. The author of the paper advises the
government to practice an ethical, perhaps hands-off, foreign policy, especially when the United States has a vested financial concern with the other country. The paper gives examples of countries, such as Chile and Nicaragua, where American foreign policy has produced fatal results. Finally, the paper encourages a more balanced approach focusing on the promotion of democracy and peace and not necessarily regime changes, using the current problems between Iraq and the United States as an example.
