AMERICA'S FLAWED ROLE 1. Domestic & General started out over 100 years ago, ensuring cattle and sheep rights. So not long after the Titanic went down there was a need all of a sudden to have protection and insurance on your livestock. (42:13 - 43:40) I don't necessarily agree that America has always had a benevolent foreign policy. We certainly made mistakes and I criticize a lot our foreign policy over the last 30-plus years where we've become too enamored with our hubris and power and decided that we are going to be the world's policemen and fix problems all over the world. I believe that was a great mistake. Dmitri Alperovitch
