should America be the world's policeman?

[Rhianann]

fine, ill disagree to be disagreeing.
so should we not focus on being a leader in the effort to keep to keep weapons of mass destruction out of the hands of crazy people who would like to deploy them? is it worth it to ignore everyone else?
doesn't the world need global policing? if not us, then who?

You must have missed the part where they found no weapons of mass destruction which was one of our sole reasons for invading Iraq. Personally I think oil rights was the real reason. And there's a book I'd like to suggest to you. It's called Killing Hope by William Blum. Normally I don't take the word of just one person but 56 pages of footnotes with documented facts to back them up is hard to refute. According to this book America gave $10 million a year to Afghanistan for decades. And look what they did to us. WE ARE THE ONES PROVIDING THESE WEAPONS IN THE FIRST PLACE. There are many other things in that book on the CIA and U.S. foreign policy that would make you cringe. You know that Van Halen video "Right Now"? In one part of it, it says "right now your country is doing things you think only other countries do." There's truth in that statement.

We don't liberate anybody unless they have something we want. The appalling lack of action in Somalia is proof of that. Look at all the bombings and strife in Ireland. It's been going on for centuries. Why aren't we liberating them?
