Close enough for me
Horsefeathers proposes a concise set of principles for foreign policy.

I disagree somewhat with his fourth point:

We must help our businessmen to win out over our rivals in the great game of commerce.

If our policy does in fact provide our trading partners and ostensible allies "Paradise at our expense," our choosing to no longer bear that expense will adequately offset any economic advantage they have over us. Japanese "steel dumping" should no longer be an problem, for example.
