What makes the UK and the USA governments global policemen ?

Question

Are the governments of the UK and the USA supreme in morals ? What about those of Holland, Belgium, France, Norway, Sweden, South Africa and virtually every other nation on earth ? Both nations have funded terrorism. Both have had (or have) an empire. The governments of the USA and the UK are in violation of treaty after treaty, internationally. Is it any wonder that they are described as the true terrorist states of our times ?

And when, oh when, will foreign troops get out of Iraq ? The excuses are wearing very thin. The official line is that they are overseeing democracy. Fine. If an army invaded the USA and stayed for years to bring democracy would you allow it year after year ? Time to go home boys and for politicians to start listening to the citizens of this world.

Nobody asked the USA to invade/occupy Iraq. Nobody. And instead of being greeted by flowers you were greeted by a hail of bullets. That is a fact. Nobody asked the USA to invade/occupy Iraq. It was roundly condemned by the global community. It is still is, years later. And still the death toll rises.

As far as the US president listening to other countries is concerned, yes, he can and must listen or else, surely, one day, he will be responsible on the day when what he has sown is reaped in his own country. If the USA administration does not listen to the international community then its people should at least unplug their corporate televisions stations and throw them in the bin. Go home Yanks - you are simply screwing up nation after nation. As millions of Americans and millions of British people said from the beginning. You invented WMD and still you will not listen to what the people say.

Answer 1

Both are representative leaders of the White, english speaking west. but more to the point

It's about the preservation of the dollar as the currency of world reserve. America and UK stand or fall on it.

Its not about oil at all. IT's about protecting the fact that all the worlds oil is traded in dollars. If any country need to buy oil which they all do, they have to buy dollars. If leading oil producers switched to euro then the american economy would implode as america is actually bankrupt but because the central banks of the world have to keep billoins of dollars in reserve than the problem never comes home. In simple terms its as if america has trillions of uncashed cheques out there that will never come home to be cashed as long as oil remains traded in dollars.

The last major oil producer to change to euro was.... guess who... Iraq (in 2002) hmmm then WMD then War and the first job of the invading force was to take control of the finance ministry and advise the UN food for oil programme of the change back to dollar. Phew. There is one other major oil producing nation planning to sell its oil on ist own exchange(due to open in Oct 06) for euro.... wanna guess..... yep its Iran... suddenly at the first mention...their an axis of evil power... Any country suggesting a trade in anything other than dollar is in trouble (Venesuela)....

IT not a war over oil , there s plenty of it.. The CIA keep african warlords and wars going to inhibit exploration despite the fact that there is proven reserves in africa to keep oil prices high...American Corps control the oil supply not producing nations...

But most of all it must be traded in dollar or suddenly every central bank around the world will need to ditch dollars and buy euro.. Any fool can work out what happens then. The dollars need to be cashed in by the FED.. The dollar will fall (a lot) in value, etc etc.. govt debt will double as they owe yen and pound and the economy will implode... goodbye america..

If I had this problem, 5% of the world population and 55% of world spending on military, i would sure use my army to make sure all these little oil rich nations kept the greenback afloat..

Its a giant scam to get an unlimited line of credit from the world to buy more arms and crush every threat to the dollar.

Watch the sham between Israel and LEb.. Its just a cover to invade IRan by proxy...cos they intend to sell oil in euro.. no other reason..

Wake up America.. Your busted, youre just not broke yet cos you dont have to honor the cheques.... YET!

Answer 2

None of the above mentioned alternatives have enough resources to enforce law and order across the globe. Not even all of them combined can cover the globe. The U.S. and Britain are stretched very thin as it is. Plus, France, Belgium, and Holland are already becoming very Muslim in nature. Would you rather be policed by Islamic lead countries, (who disdain women's rights and are intolerant of any other religion) or a communist country, (China, North Korea, Russia)? I know that U.S. foreign policy is imperfect in an imperfect and evil world, but considering the alternatives, it would be the hands down best choice for a world "police" force.

Answer 3

Policemen are policemen because they have the weapons to stop and capture criminals, not just the legal authority to do so. The other nations you listed either lack an army that can defeat a government bent on genocide or lack the will to invade a country far from home and depose its government in order to preserve a foreign people rather than keep their own favorite dictator in power. Do I need to remind you that Idi Amin, who supposedly ate people, and Pol Pot, who killed off over a quarter of his country's population, fell from power only after attacking neighboring states (Tanzania and Vietnam) and being soundly defeated? If the US and the UK are global policemen, they're trying to change the former system of letting governments get away with genocide if they don't offend their neighbors. Not with success, perhaps, but they're not sitting on their hands bemoaning the nasty things taking place overseas.

The UN has what moral authority there is to stop criminal governments, but little power to do so, and most UN resolutions on any subject (not just rogue states) are just ignored if no one is willing to shoot foreigners to enforce them. Remember, the UN sends out "peacekeepers" to keep an eye on peace already made, not "peacemakers" who stop people from killing each other.

Answer 4

some bars of Cadburys chocolate some Hum bugs (candy shop) stick of rock with a place call working via it, 2 pints of bitter and a packet of crisps, %. of Roses goodies, a duplicate of your community newspaper, and a duplicate of Motor Cycle information, even a small English pocket diary! If the customs lot see those they would not be too overjoyed so it extremely is extremely useful to place up them on! you additionally can ask them in the event that they be attentive to what a 'Tyke' is, i'm one born and bred in Yorkshire! Have an outstanding holiday too. Andy Pandy the unique Tyke.

Answer 5

This is only my opinion, I do believe that because at one time the UK was a power prior to WWII and the USA believes and probably is a world power that have the right to be the judge and jury over all other nations.

When the USA took it's Navy and flaunted it around Japan and said we have the greatest Navy on earth the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor 3 days later and caught the most powerful Navy in the worl with their pants down. Si I don't know maybe we will get caught with our pants down again in the future if we keep up the I am better than you attitude.

Answer 6

Because the USA is considered a "Superpower" other nations have demanded that the USA get involved in the affairs of other nations. ANYTIME an event happens in the world, whether it be natural disasters or armed conflict, it's ALWAYS the USA who steps in the negotiate for peace, donate money to help ease suffering ... etc ... MOST of our debt goes to helping other nations, and for it, we are hated around the world.

If not for America ...

We would be living on Planet Germany
We would have a Middle East comprised of Iran/Iraq only.
We would never have gotten to the moon and space exploration would still be a dream.
Most of thee greatest discoveries of the 20th century would have failed to have happened.
There would not be any individual freedoms

You complain about the USA, but it protects YOU ... When the USA is not being attacked around the world, we are at peace ...

Hamas wants to eliminate Israel, but they ask for our money ...
Lebanon supports Hezbolla and the destruction of Israel, but asks for our help and money.

South Korea owes their existence to a constant USA military force on the border of N/S Korea, yet they hate American Involvement, what happens if we leave?

Yes, America has made many mistakes and continues to do so, but do you really believe the world would be in a better place if the USA did nothing?

Answer 7

Because some sane persons must take the responsibility or this lovely planet will be blown from the universe very soon. Thank God for the United States of America, the country I am grateful to God I was born in, and for the UK and Tony Blair. I pray God will hold our President, George Bush, and Tony Blair of the UK and give them the peace of knowledge they have given their best.

Answer 8

Last time I checked American Presidents didn't have to answer to the citizens of the world, just the people of America and the US Constitution.

And if the rest of the world could get their act together we wouldn't have to be policeman to the world and we could bring our soldiers home.

Answer 9

That's a very good question. Can't speak for the U.K., but I believe it's very wrong to use the U.S. military as the world police. The situation in Iraq is complicated because Saddam did have weapons of mass destruction and was harboring Al-Qaeda operatives (believe what you hear from the mainstream media if you like, but I'll take the word of my colleagues who have actually done tours in Iraq and have seen them with their own eyes), but sending in our troops as a peacekeeping force, like the whole Bosnia mess, is bad news all around. Personally, I would like to see all U.S. Armed Forces pulled back to the continental United States, and then when the countries start whining about us not being there our reply should be "Hey, you didn't want us there in the first place, so we were just complying with your wishes..."

Answer 10

I agree with sarge and London, we are the biggest, baddest dogs on the block, but if you don't want us there, we should leave. Can you imagine the jobs created in the U.S. if we had to start making all the stuff we buy and give away to other countries ??
