Behold the Leviathan

In a time of much political and economic uncertainty at the international level, MSNBC conducted a series of interviews with people around the world, asking them to comment on several aspects of American policy and culture. Democracy, equality, and freedom—fundamental virtues and values—received much admiration from those surveyed abroad. When asked about America’s foreign policy, they changed their tone, their response turned sour and an unsolicited opinion on Iraq quickly followed. Some thought that America’s current foreign policy clashes with the principles and ideas America was founded upon. – YaleGlobal
