America: The World Police Force

How do you feel about America being the "police force" of the world? I personally think that it's a fairly good thing.

  • The worlds police force? Thats laughable cause if they are the worlds police force, they are doing a terrible job of it. They like to claim they are "peacekeeping" and crap like that but they aren't. Look at the long list of countries the US has fought with in the time it has existed. Pretty much all of them include land, oil, natural resources. Even look at the dictators they've opposed; cause even those were in their best interest. Most of those dictatorships are remnants of the cold war, meaning they were placed by the US because they figured it was better than communism. Now, you will also note that many of these dictators only became targets of the US AFTER the general public discovered the kinds of terrible things they were doing. And the argument that the American Government only found out when the public did is bullshit because Gaddafi was a pain in the side of the Americans since the 70's and that is just one example. America only deals with the minimum to maintain their image, but at their heart they are focused on benefiting themselves and their allies, no one else.

    • Newsflash; America is not the world "police force". At least not to anyone outside of America.

    • It's none of our business and we only do it when it's in our best interest. Wetake out some dictator then put some other dictator in their place who was just as bad or worse. We blow up buildings and bridges then have to rebuild them.

      Coming from a guy with his God father a Chicago Police who put his life on the line multiple times and been shot at, I will respectfully say go -blam!- yourself.
