Or will the other less advanced but still not nominal western powers join the great USA in this noble world endeavour?

It seems the world is at a turning point that is very disturbing. For some reason it is more tolerable in the eyes of the majority for tyrants to torture and steal from their own people than it is for a nation or a coalition to step in and end the oppression. It's more politically correct to stand by and watch as untold thousands are slaughtered than it is to step up to the plate and say "enough".
The UN will only wag it's finger as renegade nations hold the world hostage. And yet, at exactly the same time, when those same nations do not step in elsewhere (as in Darfur) because they already have their hands full, they are chastised by the world community who refuse to lift a finger.
The U.S. steps in because no one else will. But we cannot do it all, even with the help of the Brits. Why doesn't the U.N. take some responsibility and help instead of encouraging (even applauding) corrupt dictators like Chavez who stand in it's very chambers and insult the president of the host country?
We can't just ignore corrupt and torturous governments. And yet we can't police the whole world alone. Fortunately the answer is coming. But how many atrocities until it arrives?

The Constitution of the United States of America continues to be the beacon of hope for the poor and downtrodden of the world. When they successfully overthrow their tyrant they almost always attempt to emulate the words and freedoms guaranteed tin the Constitution of the United States of America. The problem is the President of the United States of America considers it "that damn piece of paper" which makes promoting freedom abroad a very difficult endeavor.

When the hell was the US ever truly a force for peace? Haven't you been paying attention in history? We've overthrown democratically elected governments in Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East(the CIA installed the Shah in Iran a few decades back, for example), and only back democratic governments when they suit our interests. Hell, didn't we back Saddam back in the '80s with chemical weapons and funding against the Iranians? No wonder the Middle East is so pissed off at the US lately...

If invasions based on lies is what you mean by keeping peace, and funding anarchists is supporting democracy, the reasons are obvious. We are almost alone in this "noble endeavour" because no one else wants to be linked to us and have terrorist attacks against them. Get your head out of G-Dub's anal cavity.

If we want peace, we should bring all the troops home, declare ourselves permanently neutral, and repeal all gun control laws.
Then we can be just as peaceful as the Swiss.
