The American Heritage dictionary defines foreign policy quite simply:
The diplomatic policy of a nation in its interactions with other nations.
Interaction with other nations. In my interpretation of this definition (and its just all about interpretation, isn't it?) leads me to believe that someone who has had personal interaction with other nations/states would be better prepared to offer an opinion on foreign policy.
If you don't have this personal experience, I suggest you get some. It's amazing what opening your eyes to the world can make you realize how much you love your home country.
The United States can teach so many countries so many things. However, we can also learn something too. There is more than one way to skin a cat, run a country, peel an orange or however you wish to express it.
Someone who doesn't have a passport shouldn't be responsible for representing us abroad.
