why is it that americans who have never left their country, nor do they intend to, can sit back and justifiably think that they know what's best for the rest of the world?

Because they can, free country and all that. Personally I don't give a damn about the rest of the world. They can do whatever the hell they want. I have all I could ever want right here in the U.S. of A.

Number 1. If the stupid people would let us alone we wouldn't bother anyone else.
Number 2. We as Americans could have cared less about Iran but was dragged in by other countries because their leaders was at wits end.
Number 3. If you would have at least attempted to read history before asking this question you would have noticed that America wanted nothing to do with European wars. Need I go on. Why doesn't your leaders attend to the problems in your country and quit whining to the USA.
We as tax payers in the USA are getting tired of supporting your scroungy butts.

I suppose you think England is the reason so many countries teach English in school? Because Americans never leave home?
Okay. W/E...
Your jealousy is showing...

What could possibly be unique to other parts of the world that could justify human rights abuses?

It'sd not a question of knowing what's best for other countries, it's what's best for us. Most Americans don't spend a lot of time worring about what is best for ither countries. I doubt if many people anywhere think about, or for that matter care about what is best for people they don't know.

I sure don't, so don't add me to that group. Personally I think we should stop trying to fix the world and tend to the problems here. On the other hand.....maybe they should quit calling on us when their nickers are in a knot and need help or a handout.

its called book knowledge, you dont have to leave your home anymore to have information on just about everything in the world. Ive been around the world several times, here and there, and i dont think that qualifies me any more than people who are real experts and professionals on whatever subject you are talking about.

Just like people from France can sit back and say that they are SURE that George W is a moron. They don't know and they never will.

You'll get vague and broad-brush answers unless you clarify exactly what we think is best for the world.
