Every time something bad happens in the world America is the first faction to enter and offer assistance. We're the first one to provide medical attention that our people need. We're the first ones to offer food that our citizens needs. We're the first ones to offer money and aid that our people need. America is not the world police force. We need to worry about ourselves for the time being and stop pissing everyone off. We need to worry about our sick, and our poor, and our starving. If country A and country B are butting heads than we need to sit on the sidelines and watch nature take it's course. Not step in and make our soldiers die for a cause that has nothing do with us.
America needs to take a time out and leave everyone else alone. Anyone agree with me on that?
After World War I, the United States foreign policy was isolationism which basically meant that the U.S. shouldn't be involved in world affairs; it lasted until World War II. The United States refused to join the League of Nations because they didn't want to be involved. However, that didn't work out too well and America got involved because of what was happening around the world. In people's eyes, the U.S. is the nation that protects and attempts to end conflicts in other countries because that is our responsibility. What made that our responsibility? The U.S. is the superpower of the world at this moment and from how others perceive them, they are the nation that should be involved in conflicts. How do you think people would look at the United States if they just closed their eyes, cover their ears, and allowed Country A and Country B to battle with each other? Do you think there would be opinions provoking the United States to enter the conflict to end it? Do you honestly think that people would simply allow those two countries to battle it all out while the rest of the world cover its ears in blissful ignorance? I highly doubt that.
I believe it is happening now and has been happening for some 30 years or more. Except, you and other people only look at the U.S. conflict in the Middle East. Not sure about you, but I haven't heard of U.S. troops in Sierra Leone or many other African countries. Seems massacres happen every other day in that country, and there is no deployment there.
I believe the U.S. only help out other nations if it is to their favor and benefit. Helping out Iran is cool because it gives us oil. Who cares about Africa. What do they have over there? Nothing. Exactly, and that is why the U.S. pwns so much.
