Political Quiz Time

I'll have a couple of updates coming through over the next couple of days as I get things caught up from my time in Washington. I do have a little quiz to gauge your political (specifically foreign policy) leanings:
American Choices
Here's what I scored:
Your Foreign Policy Priorities:
Primary: Global Markets
Secondary: Military, Human Rights
As the world's only superpower, we can lead an effort to maintain peace and stability. This is best accomplished by building wide coalitions with allies, but we must reserve the right to act unilaterally when necessary.
As 9/11 demonstrated, repression abroad can feed terrorism and threaten our freedom at home. Where possible, we should use our economic and military power as a "carrot" to encourage positive reforms in repressive regimes.
Expanding global markets is key to prosperity and stability in the world. Any displacements caused by free trade and economic growth are only temporary, and should not distract us from pursuing the bigger goal.
As the wealthiest nation, the US has an obligation to help others , and a large stake in seeing a strong and stable international order. So as not to waste money, we should make sure our priorities are focused and our oversight is diligent.
