World Public Opinion found what it dubbed a "remarkably modest" self-assessment from the major nations of the world:

Asked to assess the morality of their nation's foreign policy, in 19 out of 21 nations the most common answer is that their nation is about average or below average.

In the United States, about half (49%) say the morality of US foreign policy is average with another 16 percent saying it is below average. Just 24 percent say it is above average.

I admit that I am guilty of bemoaning a certain element of self-righteousness and sanctimoniousness in our foreign policy. But look at the chart below and you'll see that we are by no means an outlier when it comes to how we view the morality of our approach to the world.
