So, if you could make US foreign policy better, what would you do?

It's tough to say, really. I think the ideal foreign policy is no foreign policy, but that's not feasable now and it's doubtful it ever will be. We're kind of stuck between a rock and a hard place - our current intrusive policy has the rest of the world angry with us, but putting an end to it would mean cutting off countries that depend on us for aid. I definitely think, though, that we should begin developing alternate fuel sources to oil, because our dependence on petroleum, and our government's desire to control the countries that provide us with that oil as much as possible, leads to much unnecessary resentment. I also feel that the CIA in its present form does much more harm than good, and should be restructured to serve its stated purpose (national security) and nothing else.
