Soros on US Foreign Policy

We are willing to infringe on the sovereignty of others in the name of human rights and democracy. We have no tolerance for body bags, yet we impose trade sanctions and drop bombs from high altitudes in defense of our principles. Our principles are supposed to have universal validity, yet we insist on judging how and when they should be applied. There is a double standard at work that is liable to offend the rest of humanity, and Americans are not even aware of it. -George Soros
