There’s nothing wrong with being proud of America, believing that America can do great things. America can do great things, it has done great things. I think we have to have the self-awareness to recognize that the world is a very, very big place, that we could be a force for good things in the world, but we have to have the humility to recognize that sometimes even when we think we’re acting from the best of motives our own idealism can be infected by self-interest. Other people in other countries can see it sometimes better than we can.
