Nope. We have had our political/military noses up eveyone else's business just about since WWII. We should focus on ourselves and quit trying to police the world and manipulate the world stage to our own ends. If we backed off and minded our own business (which would include a HUGE strategic and military contraction that would probably save hundreds of BILLIONS in defense spending) we would see rapid improvements internally (at least I hope the recovered revenue would have that effect). Then we need to work on our own political system and restore it to its original "form." I know many will disagree, but putting a true Libertarian into the oval office will create a sea-change in that area. Ok, shuttin up now. =]

I am amazed at the progress China is making. They have a long way to go, but I applaud their headway.
