well i suppose the UN are the world police... but if the US for instance decides to invade Iraq anyway, they dont do shit. I don't think it really matters if the US should or shouldnt police the world. any nation will "police" the world if they have something to gain from it. all the good poloticians end up like JFK. the only way to survive is to lower yourself to your enemies' level until your moral compass leads straight to hell

How was JFK better than all the rest? As far as I'm concerned, he won more based on his charisma and looks over ability to rule the country. That's not to say he was bad, but he certainly wasn't a Roosevelt or Lincoln.

What the fuck? How does that make JFK better?

[illriginal]

should America be the world's policeman?

No... I agree with Steve, he have a lot of bullshit problems in our very own government alone. Our politicians have failed the American people with their ridiculous acts =\

[hypnotique]

We won't be sayin that when Haiti's economy becomes better than the U.S. economy.

On topic: America is just the new gunslinging kid on the street trying too hard using any and every resource available.

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?
