Obama's foreign policy vision

This is from an interview with Obama's foreign policy advisor, Susan Rice. Recognizing everyone's "common humanity?" That scares me. Everybody knows that Americans are more human than everybody else. This Obama guy may be a quack humanist-socialist! Or, he may be just what the doctor ordered.... Read on, intrepid undecided voter!


"...he has talked in terms of recognizing that we have a common security, that the security of Americans is inextricably linked to the security and wellbeing of people in other parts of the world, and we share a common humanity. So a common security and a common humanity. The common humanity means that we're all people of equal worth, and if we act on the basis of understanding and embracing that common humanity, dealing with issues of conflict, of insecurity, of poverty, of underdevelopment, of disease in parts of the world that we have long ignored, we're not doing that only out of a moral and humanitarian concern, as important as that may be, but also out of a recognition that by doing so we'll enhance our own national security."
