Is America a force for good in the world? I guess so.... Some of the most evil people around like Osama, Sadam and Pol Pot owed their success to the US. And the US is not shy about installing or proping up a dictator if it suits them but still look at the alternatives. The Soviet Union, The People's Republic of China, Nazi Germany and the Empire of Japan. Churchill said America will always do the right thing after they've exhausted all other possibilites. That's still more than can be said for those other guys.
