"I think one way for us to end up being viewed as the ugly American is for us to go around the world saying, 'We do it this way, so should you,'"

"I think the United States must be ... proud and confident of our values, but humble in how we treat nations that are figuring out how to chart their own course,"

"I think what we need to do is convince people who live in the lands they live in to build the nations," he said. "Maybe I'm missing something here. I mean, we're going to have kind of a nation-building corps from America? Absolutely not."

"I'm going to be judicious as to how to use the military," he said. "It needs to be in our vital interest, the mission needs to be clear, and the exit strategy obvious."

IN OCTOBER 2000, the man who has ordered U.S. troops into Afghanistan and now Iraq was very cautious about a president's asserting American authority on the world's stage.

As a candidate for the country's highest office, George W. Bush criticized the administration of his Democratic opponent, Vice President Al Gore, for being too eager to use the might of the United States to correct the wrongs in the world.

"I think one way for us to end up being viewed as the ugly American is for us to go around the world saying, 'We do it this way, so should you,'" Bush said in one debate.

"I think the United States must be ... proud and confident of our values, but humble in how we treat nations that are figuring out how to chart their own course," he continued.

In the three debates with Gore, Bush openly disparaged using U.S. forces for nation building.

"I think what we need to do is convince people who live in the lands they live in to build the nations," he said. "Maybe I'm missing something here. I mean, we're going to have kind of a nation-building corps from America? Absolutely not."

And Bush made clear several times that troops should not be sent in unless it is clear how they are coming out.
