Long story... I am going to summarize.
During WW2 with Hiroshima and Nagasaki, we had basically flexed our nuclear muscles. These actions were a direct cause of the Cold War and the beginning of a war against the spread of communism, commonly referred to as containment.
We made deals and armed many terrorist groups in our containment strategy.
In 1984, with the fall of the Soviet Union, we then dropped those terrorist groups like hot potatoes.
They became resentful and angry.. deciding to strike back. This leads us to where we are today.
Internally in the USA, we have a lot of hate and prejudice. This has been a direct result of the Rove strategy to win republican elections since the early 70s. He is on record as saying hate is the most motivating factor to get ppl to vote.
I am saying that with all this apathy and hate bred into our society, pre-emptive strikes are accepted.

The world because of globalization is becoming a smaller place. The future is for the an organization like the UN to put a stop to gross violations of human rights and punish these isolated nations that seek to be a cancer to the rest of the world. Right now the US is trying to fill that role in a limited way, but the UN needs to step up and take responsibility.

Most Americans I know were not comfortable with us playing police country. The leaders we have now do not have any long range view of how much their bullying is hurting the respect the USA has in the world. If they truly believe making war and making demands are making us safer they are wrong.

that is hard to answer the question, seeing as our attitude is defined by ability of our very own unavoidable bias. despite administration is in cost (be it the democrats or republicans) will of course make it seem that we are liberators, despite the certainty is. we've, interior the previous actually imposed regimes extra brutal than the single replaced (e.g. Sandinistas) interior the call of keeping the Western Hemisphere unfastened from communism. that is to no longer say the previous regime become benevolent (as in our occasion above, the Samozas weren't) yet our proposed replacements are not inevitably stronger (to proceed with our case occasion, Daniel Ortega become a Sadinista). So my answer is, we don't in all probability be attentive to. And regardless, any time we do "police", we are in easy terms preserving our very own pastimes, interior the tip, no longer those of the international locations we are going into.

A president that believes he is on a mission from god plus all the pressures of competing currencies, terrorism and our national addiction to that black gold called oil. Maybe also a sense that somehow America is better than the rest of the world. Sadly this adittude only isolates us and weakens us. We need to be aware that the rest of the world is also capable of managing their own affairs.

That is what others want you to believe. If you do not stop people who want you dead, then you will become dead. People just do not get it, if you do not stand up for what you believe, then others will run right over you. These are little countries that never liked us anyway. If we had not taken a stand after 9/11, to show that we are not going to take people who harbor and fund terrorists who blow up our buildings and kill thousands of people who are just going to work, then that is what you are going to get, a war. Knowing the Taliban were killing and beheading women, and treating them like dirt, is not my kind of person. You just cannot believe people of the world. If they could, they would have your head on a platter.

We are??!!??
I haven't gotten that memo yet. Of course, I didn't get the memo that we were a police country either.
Do you feel better now everyall? I mean, comments such as yours only serve one purpose. They confirm to our enemies that there is ignorance that exists in our country.
People like you Avery and the Democracy bringer backer person would be considered "user friendly" to the terrorists. Good job... You should be proud. Oh, let me add BooKitty to that lineup.

Because the big credo in the US seems to be that all problems can be solved with violence.
Remember the big bully in the school yard?
They got away with it too often.
