The rest of the world needs us because we are the only ones strong enough to help them. How much has your country done for the rest of the world?

I don't think we do. If you mean the government, that's not necessarily Americans as individuals. And even the government, to be fair, does not really "bully" nearly so often as bribe, to be blunt.
Not necessarily bribe in the illegal sense, although I'm sure that happens here and there, but in the sense of having economic power much more than military power. The military exists, of course, and they are very good. But they are expensive in both money and lives, and in political power. Too many Americans disapprove of foreign wars of any kind, for any reason, or at least other than clear-cut defense, and too many others disapprove of all wars. So we use diplomats and economic power, and that ultimately is a win-win situation. It's not bullying to raise the living standards of another country in response to economic benefits.

We aren't the ones who funded a handful of morons to kill themselves by flying airplanes into another country's skyscrapers and killing thousands of innocent people.
We are the ones who feed the entire world. Give us your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free. Or didn't you pay attention when they taught you that in grade school?
Our borders are under constant attack and infiltration.
We cannot just sit by and let them come on over and destroy us. It was necessary to do something. Maybe there wasn't a very firm plan... and the President is being criticized for that... but NOBODY was expecting that terrorist BS.
Talk about a BULLY.... that's a terrorist.... a stinking mean SNEAKY bully. The worst kind.

Because they think that they are the savior of the world ... and their duty is to watch over the world. The fact is that USA auto-proclaim itself "police of the world" and they are the only one that believe so.I believe that USA needs to save itself first. I have traveled all my life, I have never seen such a mess like America.

We have alot of rich people who were given everything they have and never had to work a hard day in their lives, in other words, they are a bunch of spoiled brats with too much time on their hands. Believe me, it's like living high-school all over again. And I thought grown-up life would be different. Boy, was I ever wrong!

Because the military-industrial complex running the show needs their $$$ so they start wars where they don't need to be started.
