why do some Americans think the should be in fixing problems in other countries?

Question

when america has so many problems itself, such as low education levels, highest murder rate in the whole world, poor medical program for such a so called super power , so many manufacturing jobs going to other countries so we can buy it all at walmart with our social asistance checks ,what is america really going to turn into a weaker country ?

Answer 1

they can't even fix their own problems.

Answer 2

Change in other countries really has to come from within the particular country. Some incentives certainly can be given from the outside and even help where appropriate but America can't help all the world's people. Military force is not the answer and should only be used as an absolute last resort.

Answer 3

because isn't a rustic project. There are problems everywhere and united statesa. can no longer make themselves in charge for all of them, isn't basically Mexico there are human beings from many others us of a that come here illegally searching for a greater helpful destiny yet no longer for that the rustic will make themselves in charge for solving all problems worldwide huge.

Answer 4

Your question is of course, nothing more than a rant.

But let's take a look at it, shall we?

America has always been among the first to help promote decency and democracy around the globe.

"Poor medical program"? Why, because we don't offer socialized "free" medical care? Sorry, the US' medical care is the best in the world. No, it's not free, but the neediest in this country don't pay for it.

"highest murder rate"? Got any sources on that one, or did you just pull it out of your backside? I'm thinking the latter.

"losing manufacturing jobs"? Yeah, our unemployment rate is down to what about 3%? oh baby, we're in trouble now.

"Social assistance checks"? Don't get one, I doubt you do either. In fact, you probably have hi speed internet access on your home system. Really a problem for you isn't it?

We're doing fine.

Got anything else?

Answer 5

Some Americans feel that they are responsible for what is happening in other countries because of the superpower of the US. Thus, they wanted interference to make a better world because the US will not survive by itself but must have foreign diplomacy for economic and security purposes.

Answer 6

I agree. End all social programs here, (including that check you are waiting for), throw out all foreigners by force,execute all criminals, close our borders, end all foreign aid, and wait for it all to fix itself. I'm sure those glittering, shining examples of incompetence at the U.N. will solve all the worlds problems just fine without us.(after we kick them out of N.Y., of course.) After all, what a track record they have! Why do you think we try to fix things that could affect our nation? Who else is going to do it?

Answer 7

Yea we should of just stayed out of WWII. Don't you think so fraulein?

...and yes we have so many problems that people flock here from all parts of the world. You need to travel more!

Answer 8

As long as one country is busy worrying about another lesser country, that first country doesn't cave a conscience problem concerning the ills and problems of it's people.

Answer 9

The German author Henryk M. Broder recently told the Dutch Newspaper "DeVolkskrant" that young Europeans who love Freedom, better emigrate . Europe as we know it will not exist twenty years from now.
While sitting on a terrace in Berlin, Broder pointed to the other customers and the passers-by and said, "We are watching the world of yesterday."
Europe is turning Muslim. As Broder is sixty years old he is not going to emigrate.
"I am too old," he said. However, he urged young people to get out and "move to Australia or New Zealand. That is the only option they have if they want to avoid the plagues that will turn the old continent uninhabitable."
Many Germans and Dutch, apparently, did not wait for Broder's advice. The number of emigrants leaving the Netherlands and Germany has already surpassed the number of immigrants moving in. One does not have to be prophetic to predict, like Henryk Broder, that Europe is becoming Islamic.
Just consider the demographics.
- The number of Muslims in Contemporary Europe is estimated to be 50 million.
- It is expected to double in twenty years. By 2025, one third of All European children will be born to Muslim families.
- Today Mohammed is already the most popular name for newborn boys in Brussels, Amsterdam, Rotterdam, and other major European cities.
Broder is convinced that the Europeans are not willing to oppose Islamization. "The dominant ethos," he told De Volkskrant, "is perfectly voiced by the stupid blonde woman author with whom I recently debated. She said that it is sometimes better to let yourself be raped than to risk serious injuries while resisting. She said it is sometimes better to avoid fighting than run the risk of death."
In a recent Op-Ed piece in the Brussels newspaper De Standaard the Dutch (gay and self-declared "humanist") author Oscar Van Den Boogaard refers to Broder's interview. Van den Boogaard says that to him coping with the islamization of Europe is like "a process of mourning." He is overwhelmed by a "feeling of sadness."
"I am not a warrior," he says, "but who is? I have never learned to fight for my freedom. I was only good at enjoying it."
Consider that in all of Europe no one under the age of 65 has picked up arms in defense of their country. That task has been borne by the United States since Hitler surrendered in 1945.
As Tom Bethell wrote in this month's American Spectator: "Just at the most basic level of demography the secular-humanist option is not working." But there is more to it than the fact that non-religious people tend not to have as many children as religious people, because many of them prefer to "enjoy" freedom rather than renounce it for the sake of children.
Secularists, it seems to me, are also less keen on fighting. Since they do not believe in an afterlife, this life is the only thing they have to lose. Hence they will rather accept submission than fight. Like the German feminist Broder referred to, they prefer to be raped than to resist.
"If faith collapses, civilization goes with it," says Bethell. That is the real cause of the closing of civilization in Europe.
Islamization is simply the consequence. The very word Islam means "submission" and the secularists have submitted already. Many Europeans have already become Muslims, though they do not realize it or do not want to admit it.
Some of the people I meet in the U. S. are particularly worried about the rise of anti-Semitism in Europe. They are correct when they fear that anti-Semitism is also on the rise among non-immigrant Europeans. The latter hate people with a fighting spirit. Contemporary anti-Semitism in Europe (at least when coming from native Europeans) is related to anti-Americanism.
People who are not prepared to resist and are eager to submit, hate others who do not want to submit and are prepared to fight. They hate them because they are afraid that the latter will endanger their lives as well. In their view everyone must submit.
This is why they have come to hate Israel and America so much, and the small band of European "Islamophobes" who dare to talk about what they see happening around them. West Europeans have to choose between submission (Islam) or death. I fear, like Broder, that they have chosen submission - just like in former days when they preferred to be Red rather than dead.
Europeans apparently never read John Stuart Mill:
"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things; the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks nothing is worth a war, is worse."
