If "nationalism" and foreign policy (capitalism by any other name) have anything to do with it, there is no good or evil.
For these "policies" are built on American corporate interests, often aided and abetted by our defense industries, (which are part of American corporate industries.).
The bottom line here is money, lucrative at first after WW I and WW II, and we all know money is the root of all evil.

We will never cease to hunt for the devil, for he lives in the hearts and minds of men (and their pocket books).
We will continue to paint ourselves into a corner, until everyone is an enemy, and there are no friendly nations (or citizens) left.
