Pretty much all of the US's foreign policies are self-serving (like any other country's foreign policy). This is the nature of foreign policy; however, the U.S. also explicitly supports several policies which seem hopelessly naive and idealistic (e.g. promotion of global democracy). Many of these "fluffy" policies are indeed driven by the unique American ideological character, but also are more pragmatic on a deeper level (global democracy is good for the US because it can promote trade and lower levels of conflict). This, of course, it not to say that many US policies aren't fraught with internal conflict, and in many cases, hypocricy.
