Well to be honest I do not believe that to be totally correct. America did and does help other countries and the world in general (WW2 esp) with guns, To stop wars and maintain peace, and I am very glad they did, But to say that is how they solve all their problems and this is all they know to achieve peace is to me an error.
I am Canadian and we have disagreements with America all the time, We never have to worry about them shooting bullets at us. America may not be perfect but it is civilized enough to have the rule of law. Please do not be so negative on America. I love America very much and I may not believe or agree with every thing that America embarks upon, (the political realm),But I do believe in the American People, they are awesome and very much like us. I feel the world should be thankful that they are here. Lets start to be thankful and try to work together as brothers and sisters and stop all this negative thinking and move on towards solving some of the worlds problems with a clean slate.
Indeed:
if ( Sodom and Gomorrah) had done the things that America has done, they would still be standing.

Perhaps you meant "Why do bullets seem to be The Human Race only answer to peace" Now isn't that a more fair and balanced question

Do you think that America can ask a terrorist nicely, "Please don't kill innocent people anymore, that just isn't nice", and terrorists will comply? Hmmm, what causes a terrorist to attack the innocent, and defenseless? Maybe because they are innocent and defenseless?
When America stepped into the picture, they soon found out they messed with the wrong people. We're not innocent of wrong, we never claimed we were (meaning slavery, for example), but we solved that issue, and we CERTAINLY aren't defenseless! We'll take the cowards on, not through meaningless negotiations, which are pointless, since terrorists have no reason, but through a greater fire, than they have ever seen. I wonder if 72 promised virgins are worth their demise? It will take a lot more than empty promises to make USA quit!

Well..I guess we should just completely forget about the BILLIONS in aid we send overseas to hundreds of countries, most of which is frankly trying to buy a little peace.
You only see the war because the drive-by media drum beats it into your rather mushy heads. Think for yourselves rather than your bumper stickers and do a little checking will ya? Ever heard the term "GUNS and BUTTER"? That's what is meant when people say that.

The United States military is the strongest and most technologically advanced in the entire world. How do we find that out? Thanks to the Iraqi War, now we know. By the way, all ammunition has a shelve life, it would be quite a pity to see them wasted when the expiration date reaches. Bombs are made to explode, thus periodically we need to make wars in order to use the ammunition up so that the arms dealers can sell fresh ones and have a regular, predictable business income. As for the people died on both sides of the war, it is yet another strong proof of the effectiveness of our modern firepower!!!!!!!! BANG!!!!!! See you in hea......ven................

Because the people on the "other" side have guns and bullets too. It's not the answer to peace but baby steps to a bigger picture.

I guess you thought that the Soviet Union went down...that is crumbled without a shot fired..........it only happened after 50 years of confronting their expansion attempts around the world in Africa, Middle East, Asia. and Latin America.
The Cuban missile crisis, Vietnam, Korea, Berlin City airlift, Afghanistan, and etc.....only by holding it back....making expansion difficult and costly did it finally crumble....50 years of effort, lost Americans lives, billions of dollars, and yes bullets......
So now the people of Eastern Europe and Central Asia are now free of Russian domination....nice thing we did....but how many people were against these events to stop the Soviet Empire...
In the last 100 years how many countries did we add to our Empire....none...we could of taken over Western Europe after World War 2...they were broke and exhausted....instead we gave them money to rebuild and compete against us......we rebuilt Japan so that Toyota could sell you cars and Sony consumer electronic.....how about Eastern Europe and Central Asia..we could of swept in 10 years ago
Vietnam...a country were America fought them....seeking American investment and trade....if we were so bad.....they would never seek to have us back in their lives once we left....we were the bad guys to have fought them.....why would they do that....but you think were bad.....they do not!
When a region of the world seeks you out as the adversary....do you send kisses or bullets..........the Middle East has massive oil money to buy anything they desire from other countries and do not have to deal with us.............but instead they want to attack us for their own internal divisions.....
America has massive military power why would a medium or small country or groups seek to get out attention...so we would come after them.......so lets attack and kill Americans cause we can win, real smart thinking..............most of the world dislikes our dominance but they do not seed bombs and bullets to get our attentions......please ask our adversaries why they seek our military attention....a much better question than he one use put up

Hello
Not only bullets? Not only America?
Why? because it's the quickest way between two points.
kind regards

peace only comes through superior firepower. be ready to defend yourself or be walked on its that simple. you have to be able to enforce peace. peace like freedom has a price. Try discipling kids without some sort of threat (non violent of course) tp back it up. with countries it is similar except you have to resort to harsher methods.

It would be interesting to see America pick on a country that is as powerful (militarily) instead of tiny countries like Vietnam, Iraq, etc. (in Vietnam we were beaten by peasants on bicycles).
The USSR terrified the American military and government
