• Problem is, US and other countries pull out of peacekeeping missions when people start dieing, even in small numbers. Case in point, Sierra Leon and Somalia.


  • I think rarely that is the reason for the pull out. But the answer is that the U.S. could police the world, but other countries and the U.S. don’t want to.


  • Are you crazy? No way in hell we could “police” the world.

    Would you allow Chineese “Policemen” (Lets call them Special Forces anti-Terrorist people) into our country?

    The power to “police” the world does not stand in one country. Do you even believe in the concept of Democracy? Or are you an Imperialist? Britain, France, Spain, and Japan have all given up Imperialism. They saw it was wrong. Imperialism was the greatest evil the world had seen in thousands of years, maybe the greatest evil ever. Do you want the United States to become the next greatest evil?


  • I hate to interrupt what used to be wonderful “lovefest,” but I will anyway. First, I like your proposal YB. Second, if I post my term paper on this forum, will I get some feedback? It’s a debate term paper I did for my Government class. The topic is disarmament. It includes industry, military, and political inefficiency and waste, but also why keeping arms is good. I just want to try it.


  • Go ahead, I got an A on the paper I posted here a few months back :) Thanks CC!

    Groovy.
    I’d take a look at your paper, but not right now - too busy. If i decide to, i’d look at it in word doc if you liked.


  • What I mean by "policing’ is interceding into genocides, that kind of thing.


  • Its not just your statement. I was blowing off the whole mentality that a lot of people in America (mostly on the right side of the isle) have. They believe that America can solve the world’s problems by blowing up everyone and everything who opposes our way of life.


  • I think the left has been for interventions a lot (Kosovo, case in point). Remember they screamed bloody murder for us not going into Rwanda.


  • Well, the right wasn’t for Kosovo for political reasons. Partisan politics and all.

    Rwanda, don’t know much about the incident, can you explain it to me?
