The Assumption Of These Papers Is That The Justification For Government Is To Provide For The Common Welfare. Foreign Policy Is Purportedly Undertaken For This Common Welfare, Not To Support Any Particular Economic Interest Or Personal Relationship Or Prejudice Nor Out Of Loyalty To Previous Foreign Policy. To Clarify Such Impartiality And Concern For The General Welfare, Government Leaders Must Assert Clearly And Publicly Standards Which Identify What Conduct In General Meets Our Government's Minimal Standards For How Other Governments Will Act To Be Consistent With The Common Welfare Of Our Populace. A Very Long List Could Articulate All The Ways How A Government Thinks Other Governments Should Act; A Very Short List Could Articulate The Minimal Standards For Good Relations With Our Government. Violations Of A Clear Statement Of Minimal Standards Would Then Be Followed By Such Actions As 1. Continued Public And Official Polite Criticism Of The Other Government's Personnel And Policies, 2. Regulatory Mechanisms, And Withdrawals Of Foreign Cooperation And Assistance, To Avoid Participation In Those Actions Of The Other Government, And 3. Punitive, Retaliatory Non-Military Action. The Most Egregious Violations Of Those Standards Must Be Addressed First, By Policy And Regulation. If The Legislature Objects To Such Measures And Fails To Enact Necessary Laws, The Executive Should Then Either Change Its Policy Or Articulate Why It Is Both Unethical And Immoral To Fail To Change The Law, And Expressly Criticize Those Individual Legislators Who Refuse To Work To Make Changes In The Law That The Executive Requests. If No Criticisms Are Made Of Individuals And Governments, The Executive Thereby Caves In To What The Public Will Perceive As Secret Prejudices And Political Deal-Making Against The Common Welfare. Disagreement Between The Branches Of Government Will Naturally Be So Frequent As To Be Unremarkable, But The Debate Can Be Clear, Specific, Completely Reasoned, Vigorous, And With All Other Options Identified And Discussed As To Their Consequences. The Executive Does Not Have A Magical Ability Always To Make Good Decisions When These Have Ethical Or Moral Implications, To Which The Public Must Defer Without Knowing What Issues Have Arisen And Why Decisions To Act, Or Not To Act, Have Been Made. The Executive Does Have A Vast Amount Of Undisclosed, Sometimes Classified, Information, But That Information Is Not About How And What Ethical And Moral Decisions Should Be Made, Only About Factors Which Apply To The Situations Of These Politically Sensitive Moral And Ethical Issues. In Regard To Factors Affecting Business Interests, It Is Impossible To Prove That The Preferences Of Any One Business Or Any One Type Of Business Are More Instrumental To The Common Welfare Than Alternative Uses Of Resources And Entrepreneurial Expertise. The Government Is Not A Shill; It Preference Is Not A Function Of Providing For The Common Welfare. Regarding Non-Economic International Interests, It Is Clear To All Reasonable Persons That Th General Welfare Of All Persons Is In The Common Welfare Of The Persons Of Any One Country, Because In The Not Too Distant Future (Taking A Long View) The Descendants Or Relatives Of All Living Persons Will Intermarry, And Anything Adversely Affecting Anyone Adversely Affects Those Who Will Be One's Own Relatives And, Eventually And Inevitably, One's Own Descendants. It Is Not In The Common Welfare To Deprive The Populace Of Its Descendants Existence, Lives, Health, Wealth, Happiness, Or Ability To Be Free And Virtuous And Capable Of Becoming All That They Can Be. Only The Power Elite Appears To Believe Otherwise, Clinging To The Mistaken Belief That Their Descendants Will Intermarry Within Their Group And Within Other Elites Almost Exclusively; Wish Them Luck With That, But Don't Promote It.…
