Why is it that the U.S. always gets involved in other foreign countries' affair?

Why is it everything that on the news more american soldiers die from road bombs or something else overseas? The U.S. has no business whatsoever going overseas to settle other countrie's squabbles like egypt or the middle east.

Let the other countries deal with their own crap instead of having the U.S. military wasting lives going over there all the time

Problem is the U.S. gets almost as much criticism about situations it doesn't enter in, as much as the situations it does enter in. Its a never ending battle.

Once you get invited to a party a few times, you just kind of assume you have an open invitation for future ones.

really? cause they have a terrible track record of installing dictators into power.

The U.S. is like the daddy of the world, If you are bad you get punished.

To try to keep ***** from hitting fan.

Heck I wish more nations would get involved and prevent such disasters as Rwanda and Darfur.

Eh, I see it "like father, like son". The British started it so where just kinda pick'n up where they left off. Just imagine though if more and more countries were willing to help the United States in terrible events. It'd be alot easier.

Interesting. Who are you referring to?

Your apart of an international community, you have to be prepared to get involved SOMETIMES. Not always, but sometimes. You get plenty involved in oil deals and desirable imports that you'd want your citizens to profit from which come from the production of other countries, so you can't trade with the international community, get what you want and then pretend your not apart of it.

Believe it or not alot of the time governments request help from the US....

To put them in their place

Because they are an empire and as an empire they need to take care of their startegy and influence around the world. They use the term "Freedom" when they want to convince the world they are fighting for a noble cause but, in reality, it is all for their interest. If they were serious about the "Freedom" crap they would have intervened in Egypt now the same way they did in Iraq but since the ruthless anti-democratic dictator in Egypt is a friend of theirs then they do nothing. They even help put friendly anti-democratic dictators in some countries like they did in Latinamerica and Iran.kuraimen

I guarantee if the U.S. wasn't around, the world would be alot more unstable...

then you guys would wish we were around to take care of business again.

you have quite a jaded view on the U.S......but so be it.

If you replaced the U.S. as the top superpower in most cases the world would be FAR worse. Very few exceptions.

Be happy you do.

[QUOTE="kuraimen"][QUOTE="aransom"]Maybe not. Things would be pretty stable because everyone would be speaking German, except those who were rounded up and sent to the ovens.

China probably wouldn't have a big problem with North Korea running over South Korea.

But the U.S. keeps that from happening.

my view: the US has done a lot of good in the world, for example ww II and in rebuilding post war europe. everyone looked up to that and the US became a role model for many. in a situation like that at some point it is inevitable you will lose your modesty and start acting like people have been seeing and treating you all those years, this is when there is a risk you lose touch with reality and start thinking your way is the best way, should be the only way and everyone should know about it. you can keep this up as long as you have the muscle to back it up but even then your goodwill will decrease over time. lately the muscle seems to be wearing out too so i think the US will retract more and more and slowly lose it's influence and will to get involved. whether this is a good thing or not remains to be seen..
