Is this supposed to be a revelation?  If one has been paying attention to 
actual US Foreign Policy (as opposed to the covering rhetoric), there is no 
surprise here.  Of course, most of us (myself included) ignore or remain 
uninformed about what the US has done to the world in the Post-Cold War 
period because we are lost in the dream of our own comfort. Rather, what is 
notable are the few instances when the US does act to promote the principles 
on which it was founded over its economic and imperial interests.  I am not 
being cynical, but if you knew as many foreign policy folks as I do, you 
would realize that this philosophy permeates their training and 
indoctrination. 

Thank you for sharing this letter, I hope it provokes sustained interest in 
the unvarnished truth of American Foreign policy.   Which (BTW) I think is 
also being helped along by the information revolution.  I mean, now more and 
more of us are able to access the foreign press coverage of US actions on the 
global stage.
